Four Ways To Be A Humble Leader

From John Blakey's book, The Trusted Executive, here are these four tips from Jim Collins for how to be a humble leader:

1. Demonstrate a compelling modesty, shunning public adulation and never be boastful.
2. Act with quiet, calm determination and motivate others through inspired standards, not inspiring charisma.
3. Channel ambition into the company, not the self, and set up successors for even more greatness in the next generation.
4. Look in the mirror, not out of the window, when apportioning responsibility for poor performance.
