Sean: From Pam. What are the most important attributes of successful leaders today? Alright. Very good question. What is it for you Le-an?

Le-an: Someone's always curious? That's the biggest - that's one of my core values, is if you want to be successful in anything, whether you want to be a successful leader, you want to be a successful entrepreneur or you just want to be successful at your job. You have to stay curious. You have to be the kind of person who what you see isn't you know, it's not what you get. You know that there's always something that you could chase, you can improve, or you can upgrade, or even replace altogether.

Le-an: And there's always more and more combinations that you never see. So if you're always curious, if you're always trying to see if there's a better way to do what you're currently doing, it's so much easier for you to succeed, especially as a leader, because then you are also open to the different personalities that you'll have, the different projects, the different, you know, at least for me versus assistant kind of personality. Whenever I see that there is some sort of schism, basically not a full conflict between a client and an assistant, I go in and like, why is this happening? What is something that you're saying that they're understanding differently just because of the cultural differences? So it's giving that space that there's always something to learn. There's always something to explore and dive into and to never really take things as just as what it is.

Sean: So Curiosity being an internal student or - in SEO Hacker, how we call it, is having a beginner's mindset that is very important as a leader and that takes humility as well. So I would say humility is one of the biggest, most important attributes of being a leader. And we tackled that in the question earlier of what if it gets to your head? So you have to have the humility to know that I'm not the alpha male here, I'm not the biggest name boss here around. I'm here to serve my people and to make sure I clear obstacles for them so they can do their best work. That's why you hired them. That's why you want the dream team. That's why you built this company. And if you don't have the humility, guess what happens? You yourself will burn your company to the ground. And that's the most horrifying thing that you're going to be telling your grandchildren. Right.

Sean: So it's humility, for Le-an, curiosity. I would add another one. And this also is very important for me, integrity. You as a leader should be a one-man person. You have to practice the one-man principle. Integrity is a word that comes from the root word integer, which means one or hole. When you're not a whole person, you're different at home, you're different at work. And at work, you're different from person A and person B, that's a red flag. You're not going to be a leader for long, and you're also going to be burning your company to the ground. Because no one likes a person who is not authentic.

Sean: So integrity is very important, both with your people and your clients. Clients will not hire someone or a company who they know doesn't have integrity. And integrity, the problem with it is it's either you have it or you don't. Because it's either one or zero. If your decimal places, it's also not being an integer. That's also not being an integer. So that's also not integrity.
