#1 Know your strengths, where you fall down, and what you excel at<\/strong><\/p>\nAmbition will get you part of the way, but you need to back it up with talent and a little know-how. If you are having trouble with minor detail, check out ways you can better yourself with some leadership development training, mentoring, or perhaps just a practice run to test the waters.
