#1 Take time to listen. “A good leader takes time to listen to people, learn as many of their names as possible, and takes a keen interest in their everyday activities.” (From the post Characteristics of a Good Shepherd by Bob Russell.)

#31 Follow well. “Excellent followership only has meaning in the context of being part of a group, so defining what it means to be a part of your group is crucial for opening the door to each person’s best contribution.” (From Is your church considering the quality of its followership? by Allen Hamlin.)

#44 Choose a worry place. “It should not be for relaxing but only for worrying. Spend the time stewing about your issues, fantasizing worst-case scenarios or trying to problem-solve. During the day when a worrisome thought pops into your mind, you should remind yourself that you can and will think about your worries later.” (From 7 surprising strategies for burnout by Jim Farrer.)

#54 Stop. “When you feel anxiety rising, catch yourself before the emotion gets out of hand. Literally stop what you are doing to attend to yourself.” (From 3 thinking errors leaders often commit by Charles Stone.)
