Humble Leadership is NOT an oxymoron
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.

"Wally’s presentation was fast paced, engaging and right on target. His mix of personal adversity and success was inspiring to our management team. I’ve received countless accolades from my staff regarding Wally’s presentation. More importantly, Wally was able to incorporate our Corporate Values and Culture into his presentation. I would highly recommend Wally Adamchik and look forward to inviting him back for future presentations."
