Humility is an important characteristic of a leader. Leaders who possess this quality and who are also interested in benefiting others rather than advancing their own self interests, achieve greater success with their teams and business.
Therefore, I couldn't agree more when I read this recent quote from Jim Collins, author of classic business books such as Good to Great and Built to Last. I thought it was timely and relevant:
"Leaders of great enduring companies possess a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will, more like Lincoln than Patton; they're intent on building, contributing and creating something that will endure rather than furthering their own interests in fame, fortune or power."
In the course of leading your team, your company, or even your family, balance strength with humility to achieve greater success and lasting results.
Unleash your brilliance without boundaries,
Christine
