| Summary: | HUMILITY is a highly valued virtue in many communities, especially in Asia.
Mahatma Gandhi, for example, said that attempting to sustain truth without humility is doomed as an “arrogant caricature” of truth.
Management consultant and author Jim Collins and his colleagues found that a certain type of leader, whom they termed Level 5 Leader (L5L), possesses humility and fierce resolve.
It appears that humility is making its way back into the Western perspective of leadership.
However, it is disheartening to hear a veteran politician reportedly say: “So, don’t be too humble because I have learnt my humble lessons of being too humble.”
Humility is a funny thing — the moment you feel you’re too humble, it is gone. |
