At the very highest levels of business, politics and sports leaders continue to fail at an alarmingly high rate with disastrous consequences for their organizations. Even more disturbing, many of these failures are self-inflicted wounds brought on, not by a lack of skill, more rather a lack of character. Against a rising tide of narcissism and ego, humility has quietly emerged as the crucial leadership quality for those that want to succeed in the 21st century knowledge economy. Grounded in the latest research, this book explains how actively cultivating humility creates a distinct competitive advantage for individual leaders and their organizations. From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, from the depths of the Atlantic to the slopes of Mount Everest readers will learn why humble leaders consistently out-perform their competition. Persuasive and practical, participants will learn how to increase their own personal level of humility and avoid the catastrophic failures.
