The 9 traits of servant leaders: #9 Servant leaders act with humility

What one trait of servant leadership is absolutely crucial to the other eight? Humility. And in this episode of Aim Higher, Skip and his panel talk about why that is. In a nutshell, it’s because humble leaders understand that their ideas, goals, strengths and concerns aren’t the only ones that go into the mix of a high-performing team. In fact, when leaders aren’t humble – when they’re arrogant or proud – they shut down the traits that make for the strongest teams: creativity, good worth ethic, entrepreneurship, selflessness. Because a leader who takes all the credit and only thinks of his or herself won’t inspire great performances in others, only the bare minimum. How do you model humility for your team? Skip, Tammi, Drew and Jenifer have some great, practical advice.
