Humility is the most important of three virtues that Patrick Lencioni describes in his book “The Ideal Team Player”. His premise is that we focus far too much on individual technical skills versus how we interact and work with others on a team. Behaviors like arrogance, conceit, and superiority are rooted in having too much pride and Lencioni sees “being humble” as the antidote to this

“When we presume that we are better than people who need structure and guidance, we lack one of the most crucial ingredients for change: humility.” – Marshall Goldsmith

Ask yourself: what percentage of the day are you in “advice/opinion mode” vs. “asking effective questions” ?

In a knowledge worker economy shifting to a coaching style of leadership is vital to empowering teams to champion continuous improvement and generate breakthrough results.

Leveraging the right questions and shifting to a coaching mindset facilitates others who are closest to the customer to generate solutions and be empowered to be the leaders of continuous improvement

“The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell.

The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.” – Peter Drucker
