Those who have never held a position of leadership may believe that once they get to the top, they can expect others to cater to their needs, but it’s the other way around. Successful leadership is not about power and prestige, but it’s about leading and guiding others, taking on responsibilities and putting in the work to be a good leader and it comes with hardship.

Promoting your own accomplishments can feel uncomfortable, and poses a dilemma: It can make you appear more confident and capable, but can also make you seem less warm, less friendly, and more selfish. On the other hand, self-deprecation or deflecting credit, may make you seem approachable but it diminishes your competency.
