Humility
Humility is not timidity. It is a willingness to see oneself accurately relative to others, to the world, and to the universe. There are no better realists than those who are humble.
Leadership Tools
This document contains stories of people being humble and of failing to be humble. (The titles next to people’s names are their titles at the time the story occurred and may not be their title currently.) Discussing diverse situations in which people failed or succeeded to live up to their values often helps people to recognize and act on other opportunities when they arise. By discussing these stories in meetings, on teams, over internet or intranet forums, or in classrooms, groups can come up with ideas for leading with exceptional humility, learn each other’s perspectives, work through disagreements, and generate ideas. The teaching note is included.
