" The purpose of a goal isn't to hit the goal. The real purpose is to develop yourself into the type of person who can achieve your goals. Hal Elrod

Strength and confidence are necessary for leadership but they must be balanced with humility. It is strength that pushes us forward in the face of difficulty. It is humility that keeps us open to course-correction when required. It is strength that allows us to tackle the difficult problems. It is humility that reminds us others can help find solutions. It is strength that pushes us to ask the necessary, tough questions everyone fears. It is humility that allows us to hear th...e answers. Leaders that are confident can add real value. Humility reminds leaders that others can also add value. A leader must be confident enough to speak their mind. Humility invites others to do the same. It is confidence that allows a leader to make a decision in a timely manner, even when much is still unknown. It is humility that allows a leader to say I don’t know or I need more information to decide." A confident leader understands their own capacities and interests and leans on them. A humble leader understands equally well where they are less capable or interested and leans on others who bring different, complementary capabilities. Carly Fiorina
