"Abraham Lincoln never denigrated, never scapegoated, never finger-pointed. And he had reason to." Take Accountability For Where You Are. While reflecting on your career thus far - including any hardships or disparities you faced - you might be tempted to point fingers at other people. However, as you get older, you realize that everyone has been both a victim and a villain at some point in their lives. It doesn't help to place the blame on others. Instead, take accountability for your own life and choices, learn from your mistakes, and relish in your success.
"If I ran the whole place like it was my way or the highway, we would not be as good a company. I'm going to have mistakes - they'll be made on my watch and will embarrass me. But I'll also make sure the company learns from them so it can become a better company." Be Open-Minded. As you get older, you might gain more confidence and pride, which can develop a sort of 'my way or the highway' thinking. While you likely do know best, as you've learned through trials and errors throughout your life and career, you also should stay open-minded to others' ideas and opinions, as well as allow room for mistakes.
