I was fortunate enough to read an article by Mr. Rajeev Peshawaria who is the CEO of ICLIF, a leadership think-tank titled "The Arrogance of Growth" and wish to share the three simple rules by Mr. Rajeev which I find useful:
1) Try to help as many people as you can even if they seem of no use to you. You never know when they might be of help. At the very least, you can only benefit from their best wishes and gratitude.
2) When you walk into a meeting, ask three questions before giving your opinion. Even if you are totally convinced about the topic at hand, asking three questions might give you some new information, and prevent you from digging yourself into a hole.
3) Seek more to learn, and less to preach. By all means share your expertise and vast knowledge, but also try and learn something from everyone you meet.
Remember, it is important to be a leader who inspire confidence but is not arrogant. Again, it's a fine line again. So, to be a good leader, it is all about striking the right balance.
