The difference between leaders who push their teams to the ground and those who take teams to great heights isn’t knowledge, capability, or competence, but their motivation and desire to succeed. What sets them apart is confident humility. Confident humility is the confidence in a leader’s ability to make the right decision while acknowledging that they need others to do it right. Ignorant leaders are disconnected from the true problems that impact their team's productivity and performance. They never build the time to understand their employees as humans and employees as first humans.
