Being a humble leader pays off in the performance category, but what’s most remarkable is the vast majority of humble leaders have every reason, because of their accomplishments to reject humility, but instead they embrace it.
The best leaders are visionaries. They see something that is possible in the distance, something others cannot see, and they communicate that vision relentlessly to help their team reach it.
A leadership vision is some sense of the future and getting others to believe that vision is possible. Think of Elon Musk of SpaceX, “We are going to land people on Mars by 2025.”
It’s shocking how many bosses still live in a world where it’s “do as I say and don’t ask questions.”
