From Mess To Success:

Demonstrate HumilitY

• Pick an initiative you’re leading or participating in.

• Identify someone whose perspective on the initiative is different from yours.

• Schedule time to listen to their perspective. When they differ substantially, exercise the patience and respect to not just understand, but to genuinely consider their point of view.

• What did you learn that might measurably improve the initiative? the relationship? your own leadership style?

• Become more comfortable, even confident, in not having all the answers yourself. This a strength, not
a weakness.
