In today's short but insightful solo, Chris talks about a topic that is not often associated with leadership and business - humility. Humility, Chris points out is a hallmark of truly great, "Level 5" leaders. So, how can leaders ensure that their feet stay firmly rooted to the ground? Chris recommends a two-pronged approach.


First, Chris shares that when something good happens, leaders should "look out the window", and think about all the people and things behind it. Often leaders tend to forget that success is a team sport, and this approach will serve as an excellent reminder. However, what should leaders do when things start looking south? Here Chris shares his mirror analogy. When something bad happens, a leader needs to step up and hold himself accountable.
