Abstract

The article discusses the potential drawbacks of humility in leadership. While humility is generally seen as a positive trait, it can sometimes undermine a leader's effectiveness. The article highlights three ways in which humility can hinder leadership: being perceived as indecisive, hindering career advancement, and limiting team development. The author suggests finding a balance between humility and assertiveness to maintain effective leadership. The article provides examples and strategies for leaders to navigate this balance.
