Tracks: Personal Growth and Leadership

Humility is such an important character trait. It allows you to acknowledge that you have room to improve, you become more approachable, you have influence over others, your team will want you to succeed and you are naturally empathetic to others who are struggling. We will examine a research project that quantifies the impact of humility and addresses the three ways an exceptional leader can preserve humility: be constant, learn to avoid first-person pronouns and make sure you give credit where credit is due. "It's not about thinking less of yourself but of yourself less." C.S. Lewis
