Learn to follow
A true leader has no problem yielding control to another person when appropriate. You should not feel threatened when your wife disagrees with you, questions your thinking. Keep an open mind. It won't always be easy, but if you learn to value and respect your family members you will earn more from them.

Inspire others
Being a leader means you are part of a team, and as a leader you should be able to motivate and inspire those within you. Most especially your family.

In conclusion, have integrity and honesty. establish and maintain well-defined boundaries, guidelines, and expectations. Deal with others patiently, justly, consistently, and fairly. Know how and when to use humor.

Be open to new ideas and have the ability to listen and think differently. Provide positive reinforcement and help others feel good about themselves.

Take personal responsibility for bad decisions, mistakes, and failures.  Be able to accept that you are not perfect and reach out for help when you need it.
