What got you here won't take you there.
You need smarts to BECOME a leader.
You need the ability to suspend your smartness to BE a good leader.
Leaders who continue to act as if they are the smartest person in the room:
1. Never realise the true potential of their people
2. Promote a yes-boss culture that rewards compliance rather that merit
3. Reduce their own impact potential
Ability to listen and understand is one the most underrated leadership traits.
