Episode 72 – Humility…Let’s not talk about me
“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less” – Rick Warren
KEY POINTS
Humility is an important but under-discussed value of leadership.
Humble leaders are considered more approachable, forgiving of mistakes, and willing to acknowledge others' work, which can motivate employees to share ideas and work harder.
Humility becomes more important as a leader's responsibility increases.
Cultivating humility as a leader requires knowing when to ask for help, using inclusive language when talking about work and accomplishments, and giving credit to others.
9 Reasons Humility Is the Key Ingredient to Exceptional Leadership and Influence
The people we admire and feel most inspired to follow are those who do not have a need to showboat their accomplishments or convince others of their greatness. Showboats are more of a turn-off than a turn-on when it comes to leadership. We are most inspired by leaders who show exceptional character, who take pride in who they are and in what they have accomplished. Humble leaders use their skills, knowledge and experience to bring people together to increase productivity, improve quality of life, and create a positive culture. Leaders who come from humility use their success for the greater good, rather than for self-glorification.

HOW TO BE A HUMBLE LEADER IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Humble leaders are made, not born, and once made; they can slip into arrogance if they are not careful. Here are three ways to develop and preserve humility:
Be a constant learner. It is almost impossible to be egocentric when you remain fully aware of how much you don't know. When I moved to the for-profit role, I should have accepted that I didn't fully understand the new financial system and sought help.
Watch your pronouns. If you often use first-person pronouns like “I”, “me,” “my,” and “mine” when talking with your staff or others about your team's work, you are showing immaturity as a leader. Team members may object if you claim ownership of their work or results. Get in the habit of using third-person pronouns such as “we,” “our,” and “us” instead.
Look for ways to give credit. Your team will be willing to go the extra mile if they know you will acknowledge their hard work. Giving credit to others, even when you have done much of the work, motivates employees.

Episode 67 – Influence is…Transparency
Most leaders set out to be transparent, but it can be hard to measure if you truly are a transparent leader.
Here’s a checklist we’ve put together to help you assess if you’re on the right track:
Are you candid, honest and do you genuinely express your thoughts and opinions?
Does the message you are delivering remain the same, regardless of the audience?
Do you tell the truth?
When you can’t divulge information, do you let people know why you can’t disclose the information at that time?
Do you consistently keep commitments?
Do you handle your own defeats well, owning them and not blaming others?
Do you ask good questions, listen to the answers and remain open to new ideas?
Do you value the feedback of others?
Do you frequently ask others working with you, “How am I doing?” or, “What could I do to better support you?”
After this episode, you might be able to answer those questions rather easily.
