Was just reading the Marine Corps Gazette. It is the professional journal for Marines. While the technology of the Corps has evolved since my time the principles of leadership endure.

J Doty and D Gerdes in their Military Review article  “Humility as a leadership attribute” from September 2000 maintain when authentic humility is applied to relationships, mutual trust develops and stirs an abiding sense of loyalty and authentic modesty – creating an environment to achieve great things

Writer J. M. Templeto states humility is not self-deprecation…humility represents wisdom.

Leaders across the country selected humility as one of the 26 words to lead by in my new A to Z series on leadership. Humility recognizes that people are more important than things. Leadership is all about people but too many leaders are too task oriented to get it.

Do you?
