Admission officers should understand and emphasize that empathy, self-reflection, responsibility, and humility are critical traits of great leaders. Empathy is essential for building trust and rapport with team members, while self-reflection allows leaders to understand their interactions and improve their communication skills. Responsibility means taking ownership of the team's success, growth, failures, and self-confidence. Humility requires leaders to be approachable and receptive to building relationships with their team members
Leadership requires balancing humility and confidence to foster team and company growth. In addition, it's about seeing how approachability and building relationships lead to a strong, valued team.
