Publisher's Summary

“This inspiring book belongs on the desk of every CEO and politician. With eye-opening case studies and recommended behaviors in every chapter, it’s an indispensable user guide for servant leaders.” (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and coeditor of Servant Leadership in Action)

On the most fundamental level, leaders must bring divergent groups together and forge a consensus on a path forward. But what makes that possible? Humility - a deep regard for the dignity of others - is the key, says distinguished leadership educator Marilyn Gist.

Leadership is a relationship, and humility is the foundation for all healthy relationships. Leader humility can increase engagement and retention. It inspires and motivates. Gist offers a model of leader humility derived from three questions people ask of their leaders: Who are you? Where are we going? Do you see me?

She explores each of these questions in depth, as well as the six key qualities of leader humility: a balanced ego, integrity, a compelling vision, ethical strategies, generous inclusion, and a developmental focus. Much of this book is based on Gist’s interviews with a dozen distinguished leaders of organizations such as the Mayo Clinic, Costco, REI, Alaska Airlines, Starbucks, and others. And the foreword and a guest chapter are written by Alan Mulally, the legendary leader who brought Ford back from the brink of bankruptcy, after the 2008 financial collapse and whose work is an exemplar of leader humility.

Mediocre wokecraft

Valid initial concept putting humility as a core value to support great leadership. However, it quickly becomes a subscription for baseless assumptions of widespread racism and systemic group identity inequality. It essentially promotes discrimination based on race and gender, rather than performance, and fully sells the cilisation-destructive woke agenda so prevalent these days. Second half of the book is a waste of time.
