Humility In Business

vs. arrogance

Recognizing the people and factors that have shaped my life

To practice Humility, I will:

• give credit to others
• admit mistakes
• ask for help when I need it
• realize my way is not the only way
• think of myself less often

Humility is a Superpower!

I was quite surprised at the number of articles, videos, podcasts, and books focusing on Humility in Leadership. Humility is not the first quality to come to mind when you think of the best qualities for a leader to cultivate, but it seems to be a linchpin for many other qualities. It is key to working with Cooperation and being Grateful by recognizing the strengths of others. It is a foundation for Confidence, as you have a realistic view of your strengths. That same realistic view applies to your weaknesses. Humility allows you to admit these and seek and accept help. Humility supports Forgiveness in allowing yourself and your team members to take risks, make mistakes, learn, and move on. Humility strengthens Responsibility and owning up to failures. That’s a lot of superpower for such a humble quality!
