Tweetable Comments "This was the first time that I had learned this lesson that working harder wasn't necessarily the answer to success." "Being a great leader or being a great successful person in business or in what you do isn't necessarily about following a rubric or doing it the same way." "A humility moment is essentially a story about a time when you screwed up." "As soon as you share a humility moment, immediately your trust radar sort of goes down and they think, well, if they told me that and they didn't have to, they're probably not hiding other things from me as well."
