Humble leaders, leaders of the future

The word “humility” comes from the Latin humilitas, which is derived humus, meaning “earth”. 

We could say that to be humble is to be “attached to the earth”, attentive to reality, without indulging in arrogance or overconfidence. 

An element that provides, therefore, a bonus in the shape of practical wisdom and common sense, over and above whatever experience or know-how each person may have. 

An increasingly necessary skill in today’s digital world, where “cheap posing” abounds and the temptation to be arrogant is always lurking when success and recognition accumulate.
