• Being relatable as a leader requires having walked in your team members' shoes
• Leadership requires both getting in the trenches with your people and making tough decisions
• Leading through crisis demands respecting different perspectives while maintaining core values
• Finding the balance between vulnerability and strength is essential for effective leadership
• Setting clear standards for behavior protects your team culture and environment
• Leadership isn't just about production metrics but how people treat each other
