Leaders with humility and self-awareness.
Increasing employee engagement and happiness.
Establishing company-wide leadership and employee behavior expectations.
The six keys to leader humility.

Key Takeaways:

Leaders need to have the correct balance and ratio of confidence to reserve.
When someone’s dignity is supported, you get more effort and engagement from them.
Take the time to consider and understand the needs and stressors that people have endured through the pandemic.
The founder and CEO aren’t more important than any other employee in the company. Let your behavior as a leader tell your employees that know, see and respect them.

“Nobody’s self-worth is more important than anyone else’s.” — Marilyn Gist
