The Best Don't Tell You They're The Best...

When looking for outstanding leaders, those who are truly outstanding (or potentially outstanding) usually don’t tell you they are outstanding. In fact, they often don’t realize they are exceptionally gifted by God to lead.

With rare exceptions, whenever someone initially rattles off a resume of success, I find that most of the time these "outstanding" leaders are either:


A) Very insecure.

B) Overselling themselves.


Those who are truly the best don’t seem to be driven to convince you they are the best. The most gifted do more than they talk.
