00:16 Humility, because leading is all about driving your team to the best outcomes.
00:20 I think exemplary leaders have amazing vision and kindness.
00:25 And I think that's one of the things that makes them great leaders.
00:28 Somebody who enables others to actualize their potential.
00:32 Being empathetic, being able to empathize with the situation,
00:37 look at it from different perspectives, and from that perspective find the best solution to the problem.
00:42 Empathy, the ability to look at things from other people's perspectives,
00:45 as to how you come up with the best solutions.
