Great post Art.
On number 1, you might add the word 'character'
"Always lead with grace, character, humility and strength. All at the same time."
No matter what our cultural differences are, if we fail to demonstrate good character, it will bite us in the rear in the end and will cause our downfall.  No matter what people say, down deep inside, the reality is that they'd rather work with someone with character, someone they can trust, than with a 'fly by night.'
