A leader should know what a good leader looks like, throughout history. Be sure you have a few mentors from decades and centuries of the past.

I wouldn't be where I'm at today without the fortunes of some strong and caring mentors.
Even the ones who were terrible "leaders", there's plenty to learn from them as well. Even if it's just learning from their mistakes.
It's also mind blowing how many people don't know what a CEO's role is vs say a COO.
You just have to accept you'll never make a decision that will be met with jubilation from everybody. Sure give everyone a fat raise and all the employees will be happy, but your board won't be, lol.
Present day is a prime example. You've seen the "Pzifer thread" and I apparently missed out on another thread lol. So do you think many "leaders" were prepped on GLOBAL PANDEMICS? Or vaxxed employees vs unvaxxed? Masks / no mask. Et all.
If you aren't already secure and confident in your ways, this isn't a pleasant time for all.
