Hernandez said that the most important qualities in a leader are humbleness, accept criticism, identify and solve the team problems, be innovative, adaptable, passionate, but non-judgmental.

A good leader can communicate in a clear, consistent, and concise manner as well as provide clear directions and guidance on what to do and how to do it.
