Humility, or holding power loosely for the sake of others, is sorely
lacking in today's world. Without it, many people fail to develop their
true leadership potential and miss out on genuine fulfillment in their
lives and their relationships. Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and
Leadership shows how the virtue of humility can turn your strengths
into true greatness in all areas of life. Through the lessons of
history, business, and the social sciences, author John Dickson shows
that humility is not low self-esteem, groveling, or losing our distinct
gifts. Instead, humility both recognizes our inherent worth and seeks to
use whatever power we have at our disposal on behalf of others. Some of
the world's most inspiring and influential players have been people of
immense humility. The more we learn about humility, the more we
understand how essential it is to a satisfying career and personal life.
By embracing this virtue, we will transform for good the unique
contributions we each make to the world.
