The more you contain your ego, the more realistic you are about your problems. You learn how to listen, and admit that you don't know all the answers.

You exhibit the attitude that you can learn from anyone at any time. Your pride doesn't get in the way of getting the information you need to achieve the best results.

It doesn't keep you from sharing the credit that needs to be shared. Humility allows you to acknowledge your mistakes.
