Humbler Leadership - Paperback

by Josh Wymore (Author)

What if the secret to success in your life and leadership was an ancient virtue that was hiding in plain sight?

Many leaders who are struggling with burnout, poor performance, and disengaged teams share one common gap in their leadership: humility. While bold and egocentric CEOs are often celebrated, decades of research and centuries of history show humble leaders make better strategic decisions, bring out the best in others, live happier lives, and embrace kindness without sacrificing results. Humility offers a critical advantage to leaders, yet few have a concrete plan for how to develop this character trait. Until now.

Leveraging the latest social science research and his experience coaching executives at Fortune 500 companies, Dr. Josh Wymore unpacks the four traits of humble leaders and the 10 practices any leader can use to become humbler today. In Humbler Leadership, Wymore demonstrates:

• How a humble CEO increased his company's market capitalization by 800%
• How a humble football coach built caring relationships with his team to win multiple championships
• How the Humility Paradox enables leaders to balance self-awareness and self-esteem
• How a leader's emotional intelligence trumps raw intelligence to drive better results

By dissecting this often-overlooked character trait of successful leaders and creating a practical guide for how to implement it, Humbler Leadership gives leaders the tangible tools they need for their leadership development.
