These personality traits are essential for business leaders. Sometimes they seem contradictory. One of the greatest dichotomies, however, is also the most important: Business leaders must possess both confidence and humility. Although they may seem contradictory, the concepts complement each other to create leaders who are inspiring and supportive of progress.

Let’s begin by understanding confidence. It is easy to see if leaders are confident or just trying to make it seem so. Are they more attentive than they talk? Or do they need to speak loudest in the room? Are they able to lift up those around them and help the company grow, or do they just take the credit? Do they seek to improve themselves and learn from others for the benefit of the team or assume that their strategy is the best, without consulting others? Do they view strong performers as threats or collaborators?
