Sharing an intersting article of Avigit Ghosh report on "Payol, Dhoni and art of humble leadership" in today's Times of India
The act of shunning the spotlight are perfect examples of the "humble" leadership approach.
Jim Collins, author of two much quoted works, "How the mighty fall"(2009) and "Good to Great" (2001), says "the key ingredient that allows a company to become great is having a level 5 leader: an executive in whom genuine personal humility blends with intense professional will."
Social Scientist, Mr. Shiv Viswanathan calls humble leadership, "a collective understanding of creativity." This style recognises and appreciates, "the smaller actors in a victory",
Comentator Santosh Desai believes that humbleness require supreme self - confidence and wisdom, "Such gestures of humility also build your longivity as a leader, you can get latitude during bad times." Jack Zenger and Joe Folman's advice in the 'The handbook for leaders," :-- "Don't flaunt your authority. Humility will make you approachable. It opens the door to building relationship." "A humble leader is also his own man."
