The more credit you give your team, the more they value your leadership.
The more you admit you were lucky, the more people respect your skill.
The more you consider yourself a student, the closer you get to mastery.
The more you accept that you don’t know, the more you can learn.
The more you acknowledge your weaknesses, the more you can benefit from others strengths.
The more open you are about your mistakes, the more faith people put in you.
The more you listen, the better a conversationalist people think you are.
The more willing you are to change your mind, the more people trust your judgement.
The more you focus on others, the more you prosper.

Nothing destroys more value in business than fragile egos. If people need to be right, can’t accept criticism, or have to be the center of attention, it’s not if they’ll create problems, it’s when, and how bad.

By contrast, when we approach our work with confidence but open mindedness; see disagreements as a chance to learn, criticisms as a shortcut to improvement, and failures as opportunities to grow; when we focus on what makes the work better not who gets the credit, we can achieve so much more, in much less time, with far less waste, stress and heartache.
