Humble. Hungry. Smart. Does this sound like you?

Do others describe you as someone who seeks diversity – not validation – when approaching decisions and solving problems? A team captain who recognizes and celebrates individual and group wins? Someone who is guided by principles, not rules, and believes mistakes are opportunities for learning and continuous improvement? Someone who recognizes there is more than one way to solve a problem? You sound brilliant to work with!
