HUBRIS: Excessive pride, self-confidence, and arrogance
While this is a season of politics, this blog is not meant to be political per se. Rather, I hope that you will read it as a principle of humanity and leadership in any group of people that you can apply to your personal leadership style at work and at home.
It is a well-known principle that the leader of a group or organization establishes the culture of the organization or people group. Lolly Daskal, the founder of New York City based “Lead from Within” Consulting Firm recently shared of blog on the danger signs of harmful excessive pride. They are…
- Conceit
- Superiority
- Arrogance
- Narcissism
- Selfishness
- Entitlement
- Self-absorption
With that in mind, here are a few questions to ponder…
- What kind of leader do you prefer to follow in the organizations that you are involved with?
- What kind of leader do you desire to be as you progress on your journey in life?
- What kind of example, culture, and legacy do want to pass on to your children, and grandchildren?
