• Humility is an important but under-discussed value of leadership.

The people we admire and feel most inspired to follow are those who do not have a need to showboat their accomplishments or convince others of their greatness. Showboats are more of a turn-off than a turn-on when it comes to leadership. We are most inspired by leaders who show exceptional character, who take pride in who they are and in what they have accomplished. Humble leaders use their skills, knowledge and experience to bring people together to increase productivity, improve quality of life, and create a positive culture. Leaders who come from humility use their success for the greater good, rather than for self-glorification.

1. Humanity

Humble leaders are made, not born, and once made; they can slip into arrogance if they are not careful. Here are three ways to develop and preserve humility:

1. Be a constant learner. It is almost impossible to be egocentric when you remain fully aware of how much you don't know. When I moved to the for-profit role, I should have accepted that I didn't fully understand the new financial system and sought help.
