Humility Is Empowerment

Are you humble? And if you say you're humble---does that make you not humble? We may think we are being humble with our teams. But many aid worker leaders (myself included) have come to define our validity as leaders with the ability to tell our teams what to do.   Our ego is tied to our ability to provide the answers. We are not being humble enough to admit our way is not the only way. And that although telling others what to do makes us feel important, it doesn't help our team in the long run. This doesn't make you a bad person or a bad leader. But you can be an even more effective leader - if your goal is to strengthen your team and have them less reliant on you for answers. In this episode I explore how to know if you are truly a humble leader - and the impact being humble can have for you and your team.
