Leadership is more than being organized and managing people and situations. To truly lead, you have to stand for something and value your work and the power of your message. Your followers are out there and they are looking for exactly that value you can bring to them.

Don't commoditize your work or just follow client instructions. Your value lies in your ability to surface deeper issues and translate them into design solutions.
Leaders don't play the competition game. They work to provide innovation instead of comparing themselves to the market.
Instead of buying into prevailing thought about what won;t work, be optimistic. To innovate and solve problems, you have to believe in possibilities.
Ideal clients are looking to do more than meet functional needs. When you show that you can deliver impactful work, they will be drawn to you. Be clear in your message and the results you can deliver instead of talking about your work the way other architects talk about theirs.
