HUBRIS:  Excessive pride, self-confidence, and arrogance
 
While this is a season of politics, this blog is not meant to be political per se.  Rather, I hope that you will read it as a principle of humanity and leadership in any group of people that you can apply to your personal leadership style at work and at home.

  • Narcissism
  • Selfishness
  • Entitlement
  • Self-absorption

With that in mind, here are a few questions to ponder…
  • What kind of leader do you prefer to follow in the organizations that you are involved with?
  • What kind of leader do you desire to be as you progress on your journey in life?
  • What kind of example, culture, and legacy do want to pass on to your children, and grandchildren?
