Best Advice I Ever Got: Jim Kim, President of the world bank

"...I received some great advice form Marshall Goldsmith, one of the preeminent authorities in the field of leadership. He told me this: 'If you want to be an effective leader, listen and accept with humility the feedback that comes from your team.'"

"The most fundamental commitment you have to make as a leader is to humbly listen to the input of others, take is seriously, and work to improve. Again, it sounds simple, but it's not easy. Leadership, as Marshall always says, is a contact sport, and one has to constantly ask for and respond to advice from  colleagues so you can improve."
