The Second Side
Personal Humility Demonstrates a
compelling modesty,shunning publicadulation; neverboastful.
Acts with quiet, calmdetermination; relies
principally on inspiredstandards, notinspiring charisma,
tomotivate
Channels ambition intothe company, not theself; sets
upsuccessors for even
greater success in thenext generation.
Looks out the window,not the mirror, toapportion credit for
the
success of thecompany.
