Building on her leadership and research experience, she is advancing knowledge on the power of leader humility - the tendency to feel and display a deep regard for others' dignity. Dr. Gist received the 2017 Distinguished Faculty Award granted by the Alumni Board of Governors and was named Professor Emerita in 2019 by Seattle University's President.

Her book, “The Extraordinary Power of Leader Humility: Thriving Organizations - Great Results”.  On the most fundamental level, leaders must bring divergent groups together and forge a consensus on a path forward. But what makes that possible?  Humility—a deep regard for the dignity of others—is the key.
