Our society places a lot of value on external accomplishments and appearance, which can sometimes make it difficult to stay humble and grateful. As a leader, it is imperative to show humility in everything you do, to instill this value in others. It’s important to note that humility isn’t about being meek, or short selling yourself; humility is the understanding of your place and your role, even if that role is at the top. Humility also encourages collaboration. Many people find it hard to approach egotistical people to ask for help or offer their own assistance. This, of course, can kill a team before it even begins. Even when you force people to work together, team members may put forth less effort if they feel the leader is undeserving.
