Humility

This article asks a good question. If humility is so important in a leader, why are so many arrogant? It goes on to define three kinds of humility, including one dubbed “humbition” — humility combined with ambition. Arrogant managers like being in charge and telling people what to do.  They don’t listen: They glory in power. There are too many to name who fall in this category, including the current President. PR practitioners know too well the kind of leaders they serve. They can tell stories of humility and arrogance. They will relate to you privately that X is a good person or they will whisper one or another outrage a CEO has committed. PR is often a receptacle of CEO demands, whether reasonable or not.
