Daniel,
I like what you have to say about humility in leadership. My career has been in dance and choreography. One of the lessons I learned very early on from my great teachers was the lesson of humility. It is easy to lose track of when moving at a 21st. century pace. Humility can also bring quiet time for reflection. Thank you for pointing out one of the most important ingredients in success. Your choice of starting with humility is a great indication of interesting reading.

Thanks as always for the support Tobey. I just think at times people really overlook the importance of the intangibles. No one enjoys the company of an arrogant, selfish, person. Certainly they don’t want to be led by one.

Daniel – you are absolutely right. There is an huge difference between perceived power and leadership excellence. Leaders who embrace humility empower others; they build individual and team strength. They understand that, by doing this, success is found through sharing their own strengths (often built, as you said, upon their own failures), listening to others, and self awareness.
Humility doesn’t make one a Melvin Milquetoast but rather opens one’s mind to the never-ending potential to learn
Great post, Daniel – looking forward to #2!
