Quotes by Bruna Martinuzzi (?)

“Hire people who are smarter than you are—whose talents surpass yours—and give them opportunities for growth. It's the smart thing to do and it is a sign of high personal humility.”
― Bruna Martinuzzi, The Leader as a Mensch: Become the Kind of Person Others Want to Follow

“When someone has wronged you, continue to treat them with civility. It’s the ultimate mark of a mensch.”

“Something interesting happens when we approach situations from a perspective of humility—it opens us up to possibilities as we choose open-mindedness and curiosity over protecting our point of view. We spend more time in that wonderful space of the 'beginner's mind,' willing to learn from what others have to offer. This translates into moving away from pushing to allowing, from insecure to secure, from seeking approval to seeking enlightenment.”
