Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
I thought it was time for me to retire. I was sixty-one years old, and I thought our twenty-nine-year-old company was going strong. I’d come to work each day and sit in my office bored. Playing on emails and Facebook.

What was wrong with me? Why didn’t I know all this?
Leaders often need a lesson in humility.
Make humble curiosity part of who you are. Like it says in Philippians 2:3, “Do nothing out of selfish ambitions or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves.”
Ask the team. Listen. Be curious. Gather information. Many times, the solutions will present themselves.
