Lead with humility
True leaders know that humility is concerned with what is right. It is the highest form of self-respect to lead from the stance of humility.
Humility
Humility means that you have the self-confidence and self-awareness to recognize the value of others without feeling threatened. You are willing to admit you could be wrong and may not have all the answers.
Humility requires the containment of one’s ego.

- Learning requires humility and self-awareness
- Feedback is fuel, not an insult
- Even at the top, students outlast stars
- Curiosity keeps you evolving when ego would keep you stuck
