Will,

Very insightful post! Being self-aware is essential, and it is often missed when people reach certain levels. Although we are all human, it does not dismiss the need for standards of conduct.

One element I would add is accountability. There is degree of self-accountability that needs to be present.  Additionally, we all need friends who will hold us accountable and challenge us.  We need to have these type of people in our networks, and we need to engage them proactively as well.

Thank you for post and insights!

Jon
