• Humility is a key to high performance and effective leadership - Foster School of Business

  • According to a study from the University of Washington Foster School of Business, humble people are more likely to be high performers in individual and team settings. They also tend to make the most effective leaders.

     

  • “Humble leaders foster learning-oriented teams and engage employees. They also optimize job satisfaction and employee retention.”
  • The research team defined humility as a three-part personality trait consisting of an accurate view of the self, teachability, and appreciation of others’ strengths.
  • “Two of the best predictors of performance—both academic and on the job—are intelligence and conscientiousness,” Johnson says. “We found that humility predicted performance better than both.”
