Their goal should be to leave their role and team in a better position than they inherited it. Walking the Camino emboldened me to check off a goal that I had long thought was beyond my abilities – writing a book.

T HE BOTTOM LINE is that there is no “good leadership” without ethical thinking. The thinking that powers leadership choices must be grounded in ethical values or the impact on important constituents will be overlooked.

One of the worst things a leader can do is to let their ego write checks their talent can’t cash… Humility is actually the trait that magnifies all other positive attributes. While hubris can be a needed trait to call upon at times, to rely solely upon it as the foundation of your leadership style just doesn’t work.
