Humility to me has to do with being of service to others without a need to take credit. My mother in law is currently my model of humility. She lives her life for her family and is of great service to the community of Watsonville. She watches my children every day and does so with love and grace... I think of her when I start to have those "what about me" thoughts. ;)
Crystal, I also thought of my mother in law when I read your question! How wonderful of your mother in law to step up for her family. My wife has taken a page out of their book as well. She works long hours as a prosecutor and has such concern for her victims. She only wants justice for them. If that means extra hours trial prepping, that is what she does. She will tell you that this is her dream job. It is this type of humility that makes me admire her and all she does to help others. We have been together for seven years and everyday she thinks of other people's needs before her own. She thinks of self A LOT less.
I definitly feel a sense of extreme humility with our Navigator team and culture. Everyone is always willing to step in anytime and anywhere they are needed and always trying to help each other. No matter how busy we all are, everyone will do their best to help one another with whatever is needed. The helpfulness that exists is always done without expecting anything in return, just to help us all improve and build upon each other.
My definition of humility is someone who does whatever it takes so the team can be successful. That could be taking on another role outside of your job description, helping others to be successful, or giving others credit. I think a lot of us do that at Navigator, like Carrie said. I see a lot of people here do selfless acts in order to help another person or help the team be successful. In my opinion, humility is one of the best qualities to have, and one I look for when working with someone.
