And the answer is…

From Mark Toth, guest blogger:

The answer to yesterday’s question is the one hiding modestly at the end of the list . . . humility.

That may seem 100% counterintuitive when you picture today’s stereotypical CEO.  But according to various workplace gurus (including the research team behind the landmark business book Good to Great), it’s true. In short, leaders who are truly (1) servant-hearted, (2) able to put others and the organization first and (3) willing to listen with humility to other points of view are the ones that people will follow.

So, I humbly suggest that you ask yourself this question today:  Do others see humility in me? If you want to be a truly great leader, the answer should be a resounding “YES.”

    I picked right? wow…lol Your logic makes sense, when I think about it, it’s the personality trait I’d like to follow. The very thought of a humble leader makes one feel…appreciated. Thanks for the great post, answer and insight.
