Present Clearly
Iterate On Your Work
Specialize: Add as much new detail to a single piece of work.
Everyone has specialized skills, there's fame in using them to their fullest potential to explore many areas.

Give Credit To Others no matter how small
Summarize Everything Clearly and as long as is necessary: show your work second.
Your position as an authority will change abruptly. (I'm have a harder time rephrasing this. Your work will go from "meh he's washed out" to "he's perfected his craft" for identical reasons depending on how well it's received)
