11 Life Lessons We Learned From Our Dads

"The best life lesson my dad has taught me is how to be a good leader. His philosophy is when things go right, give the credit to your team, and when things go wrong, take 100 percent of the responsibility. This outlook on leadership has benefited my life in so many ways, personally as well as professionally. I have found that this attitude increases team morale in a professional setting because it makes individuals feel valued. When a leader takes the fall for a shortcoming, it shows that person is invested and cares personally about the success of the company, themselves, and everyone on the team. This outlook on leadership has also affected my personal relationships because it keeps me grateful for friends who are present during good and bad times. I have found that showing gratitude, in all aspects of life, only leads to happiness and even better future opportunities."
