We often associate leadership with qualities like charisma and bravado. But a body of research suggests that another, often quieter trait can pack a sizeable leadership punch: Humility. Students who were rated as humble outperformed even those with higher intelligence scores, reports BBC Worklife’s David Robson. And managers who display humility inspire greater satisfaction, engagement and collaboration among their staff. What gives humility such power? It opens our eyes to what we don’t know and pushes us to seek out new information. It also sends a message to others that it’s okay to do the same.

A senior leader in my world has provided detailed information and transparency during Covid. He has also shown much patience, compassion and attentiveness during this challenging time. Personally, this has made me feel factored in, cared for and motivated to give back. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
