“Humility doesn’t get any respect in this wardroom.”
And my response to that is a quote from Tony Schwartz at Life@Work.
“Humility is a way of acknowledging that none of us stand at the center of the universe. No matter what role we occupy, or how much we know, we don’t have a lock on the answers. A position of authority over others scarcely guarantees that you have real authority.
When leaders openly accept the whole of who they are – for better and for worse – they no longer have to defend their value so vigilantly.”
Are you being too defensive?
