Quote of the Day: Revenge, lust, ambition, pride, and self-will are too often exalted as the gods of man's idolatry; while holiness, peace, contentment, and humility are viewed as unworthy of a serious thought. - Charles Spurgeon

News and Culture: HOW LEADERSHIP HUMILITY IS DEFINED IN THE EAST AND IN THE WEST

Nine dimensions of leadership humility. Note: Four of the dimensions were present in the major Western studies and theories of leadership humility:

1.Being be self-aware and honest about one’s own weaknesses

2.Recognizing strengths and achievements of followers

3.Modelling ‘teachability’ and being correctable — that is, modelling the behaviour of not always being right

4;Treating others with respect

Note:Five dimensions, were unique to Singapore/Asia:

1.Leading by example — that is, being willing to do the things that others do such as creating PowerPoint slides

2.Showing modesty — that is, someone who doesn’t have to be in the limelight all the time and is willing to step back and let someone else be the focus

3.Working together for the collective good — for example, a humble leader would stay late with the staff to achieve a goal

4.Showing empathy and being approachable — that is, having a high emotional quotient and being available for the staff when they need support

5.Mentoring and coaching — humble leaders are focused on the personal development of their followers.
