\begin{tabular}{|ll|}\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ HUMBLE LEADERS ARE RARE } \\ 1 & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{ Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic } \\ Few people would contest the idea that humility is a desirable leadership quality. \\ However, ask those same individuals to name a famous leader, and their choices \\ will likely reflect the reverse: that the most emblematic \( { }^{1} \) and conventional leaders \\ exude arrogance and self-importance, rather than modesty or humility. How do \\ we explain this incongruity? \end{tabular}

Humble leaders have often been overshadowed by louder, more dominant personalities, even in history. Take Gandhi, for example. His quiet perseverance and magnetic influence showed that true leadership often lies in selflessness and the ability to uplift others. Contrastingly, figures like Napoleon or Julius Caesar are frequently celebrated despite their more arrogant approach. The fundamental question remains: can society recognize and reward humility in leadership? In today's world, the application of humility in leadership can lead to incredible team dynamics and innovation. Companies are increasingly valuing leaders who engage their teams and foster a culture of collaboration. A humble leader encourages creative thinking and is more approachable, allowing for open dialogue that often results in more effective problem-solving. So next time you're in a leadership role, remember: confidence is great, but humility might just be your secret weapon!
