Humility is a characteristic that most people will agree is in short supply. But, most of us still admire it when we see it. Little in our culture today encourages a humble disposition and I believe this is a relatively new development. More than ever it seems that loudest, boldest and most obnoxious voices often garner our attention.

To put it simply, it (humility) means moving through life and relationships and business valuing ourselves but deciding to see our place and choices through a broader lens and opting not to place ourselves higher than others.
INSIGHTS: Without a certain degree of humility it is impossible to be a servant leader. It is also impossible to execute effective business practices such as, “seek first to understand and then be understood” or “be interested rather than trying to be interesting.”
