Humbitious
The Power of Low-ego, High-Drive Leadership
One of the most common myths about leadership is that arrogant, over-confident people are better leaders. Humbitious shatters that myth. Amer Kaissi, an award-winning professor at Trinity University, brings his years of experience as an executive coach together with extensive research to show that the most effective, high-performing leaders combine deep, realistic humility with ambition and drive. Humbitious is a solid, intelligent, clear, and engaging book that uses the stories of individual leaders to illuminate the dimensions of humble leadership in its relation to others and to oneself.
