  1.1 Customize/optimize your leadership style based on who you are.

  1.2 It is about people (help people, support people, especially in the background)

2.  Balance your: "Knowledge + Respect + Money" throughout your career.

  2..1 Focus on developing K and R (command others' respect) and not M when you are yong. M is the least, as when you get old (say 60), your annual income is 10-20x of your starting income.  So it is pointless to worry about money whe you are young.

  2.2 Be generous on Money (i.e. spend on frinedn and your family and you) when you are yong, because later on in your life you will have much more

  2.3  Be stingy on time (do not waste time, use them to develop your K and R)

  2.4. M from the last 1/4 of your career >= M from the first 3/4 of your career

  2.5 Focus on elongating your life span during your later years (cuz M is very big then!)

3.  Pride (commending respect) is important in the beginning, until at certain age, at which time it may work against you.  You need to become humble then.
