Sousa’s life was in the public eye each and every day. He knew that he had to be humble with his audiences and not treat them as inferior or stupid by demonstrating intellectual humility (BCEE, 2015c, p.20). Sousa was a quiet man with a keen sense of humor who did not speak excessively. However, when he did speak it was with a purpose. He never spoke down to his audiences either and always catered to their requests. Whenever his band traveled he always made arrangements to speak to…
