Empathy, seeing other people and honoring their stories, even though it doesn't match up and align with yours.

The Infinity Gauntlet gives the holder the ability to snap their fingers and make anything their mind can imagine into reality. Here's the catch though: it generally costs the wearer who snaps their fingers their lives. I have this gauntlet, and I'm offering it to you. What would you want to happen?
I would give it to someone really old whom I trust. I wouldn't do it, because of my family and my kids. I wouldn't want to do that to them. The person I give it to I would want them to make a world where we see one another, where we can be brave, courageous, curious, and vulnerable, and empathetic, and we weren't so selfish.

On Being with Krista Tippett
What qualities do you think make a great leader?
Great leaders are self-aware. They're connected to their intuition. They have the greater good in mind, and they're able to step aside when they know that someone could be more of value in a specific space or role. Good leaders are constantly evolving and constantly growing and constantly receiving feedback from whom they lead. They prioritize love.
