Hi Andrea,<\/p>\n
I loved reading your post about intellectual humility. Wow- what an interesting and innovative concept! Studies have revealed \u201chumility: It\u2019s not a quality that is cited or celebrated much in leaders. The leaders we hear about in the business world are often colorful characters with strong opinions and bucket loads of charisma such as Space X\u2019s Elon Musk, Richard Branson of Virgin and the late\u00a0founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. But humility is an underrated leadership quality. Humility is the psychological opposite of narcissism, remarks Dr. Robert Hogan, founder and president of Hogan Assessments. Substantial research shows that humility predicts effective leadership. Humility is associated with minimizing status differences, listening to subordinates, soliciting input, admitting mistakes and being willing to change course when a plan seems not to work.\u201d Hogan argues that Steve Jobs was a charismatic leader who was successful despite himself. \u201cAlan Mullaly was a humble leader who saved Ford. Look what has happened to Apple after Jobs left and look what has happened at Ford after Mullaly left. Apple got better; Ford fell apart.<\/p>\n
So how can leaders become more\u00a0\u201chumble\u201d in their leadership style? Below Lock lists some top tips:<\/p>\n
Be a servant leader; model the kind of followership you want from others by following the lead of others at times.<\/strong> Never ask anyone to do something you would not be willing to do yourself\u201d (Higginbottom, 2018).<\/p>\n As servant-led leaders, how do we become strategic and authentic?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n References:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Higginbottom, K.
