A Stern Lesson In Humility

"His capacity for self-deprecation was just one of his many strengths. he was very good at never trying to make people think he was throwing his weight around (especially when he was) or that he was taking credit for things he had not in fact accomplished - or, for that matter, for things he had." - David Halberstam, on NBA commissioner David Stern

To take blame and give credit... the hallmark of a respected leader.
