You grasp that you're not the talent. The job is to facilitate and enable those that are. You are Brian Epstein, not John Lennon.

Someone who brings their team achievable goals, and the resources they need, and then gets the hell out of their way.

Someone who encourages leadership (in all its many forms) to come from within the team, and doesn't see it as a challenge to their authority.

Someone who understands that respect is not magically granted by position.

Someone willing to make decisions - sometimes tough ones - on behalf of the team, to communicate both with and on behalf of the team, and defend the team's integrity and autonomy.

Someone who understands that communication starts with listening.
