I've heard a few times from people
in positions of power that humility is weakness! Yet this core virtue drives
against the inner strongholds that make a bad leader: pride, self-centeredness,
judgmentalism, control, and impulsiveness.
Author and thought-leader Jim
Collins has probably dedicated more time to researching and writing about
humble leaders than any other topic in his landmark study of Level 5 Leadership. He states:
"Level 5 leaders channel their
ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal of building a great
company. It's not that Level 5 leaders have no ego or self-interest. Indeed,
they are incredibly ambitious — but their ambition is first and foremost for
the institution, not themselves."
