Descend to Soar - Why Humility is Important in Leadership
Registration for this event is now closed.
As powerful as humility is, a common misconception is that it's a sign of weakness. Some think that people who are humble behave as if they are inferior to others. As a result, humility is not regarded as a critical skill. But the fact is that there is an incredible amount of courage and strength involved in the practice of humility, especially for those in leadership.
As a leader, it is critical for you to understand that humility is the foundation of great leaders and the basis for world-class customer service. This presentation will highlight how humility can take your career, your teams, and your organization to heights you may not have imagined.
