Just a few thoughts from a FOG:
It's called Selection, not entitlement. Others have a say, make the impressions the right ones.
If you are not 100% sure you want to be at Selection (or the Q) you probably shouldn't be there and have taken a slot from somebody who really does want to be there.
Be honest with yourself and others, if you screw up, admit it - If others screw up, let them know and if you can guide them to unscrew themselves, do it.
When you are doing individual stuff, excel. when you are doing Team stuff, help everybody excel - one person giving 110% for himself when other members of the Team are only giving 50% is still a Team Failure.
In order to lead, learn how to follow and do not be afraid or unwilling to do whatever is asked, or you will have to ask of others.
Next step:
It's called the Qualification Course, in order to pass you need to be qualified, which is not easy, as the baseline is excellence.
Take all of the advice above to the next level.
