Get low

The speaker shares a valuable leadership lesson learned from a college dean: the importance of humility in influencing others.
The dean’s practice of sitting in a chair lower than his desk, both literally and figuratively, created a sense of equality and openness in his interactions with students. This approach made students feel more comfortable and receptive to his guidance.
The speaker emphasizes that humility is key to effective influence. By putting others above oneself, even when they may be wrong, leaders create an environment of trust and respect. This approach fosters open communication and increases the likelihood of others being receptive to their ideas.
The speaker encourages viewers to adopt this principle in their own interactions, striving to approach conversations with humility and respect, recognizing the value of putting others first.
