Humble leadership

1 key leadership trait that people often underestimate?

Humility.

Humble leaders are among the most effective in inspiring and guiding their teams.

It’s also a leadership skill that can be learned.

The best way to build your humility muscle is through a practice of self-reflection.

Some questions you can ask yourself:

1️⃣ Do I speak too much in conversations and meetings?
2️⃣ Do I genuinely listen to others' perspectives and encourage them to share their thoughts openly?
3️⃣ How do I include people in discussions and meetings?
4️⃣ How do I involve diverse voices to ensure a well-rounded decision-making process?
5️⃣ Do I dominate conversations or cut others off?
6️⃣ Do others have the opportunity to express their ideas and contribute to discussions?
7️⃣ Do I have a shared clear and compelling vision for my team's work that aligns with the organization’s mission?
8️⃣ Am I true to my word and honor my commitments?
9️⃣ How do I demonstrate concern and care for others? Do I show empathy and address others' needs with sincerity?
🔟 Am I receptive to ideas that are not my own? How do I embrace a culture of openness and welcome diverse perspectives?

Humility is a sign of strength.

And it is an essential quality that can elevate your leadership and inspire others.
