Humilitas by John Dickson

  • Ruby Simpson

Abstract

John Dickson defines humility (rooted in the Latin humilitas) as “the noble choice to forego your status, deploy your resources or use your influence for the good of others before yourself.” From that definition he sets forth a roadmap for successful leadership with multiple examples of humble leaders in sports (with a wonderful tale about Joe Louis) science (Einstein) ministry (Schweitzer) and music (Bono), among many others.
