Lead With Humility

When *Fortune* announced its list of the World's Greatest Leaders, the top spot was awarded-not to a captain of industry-but to the new pontiff.

  In the year since his election, Pope Francis earned that accolade...and more. He has achieved the remarkable: breathed life into an aging institution, reinvigorated a global base, and created real hope for the future.

  How did a man who spent his life laboring in slums far from the Vatican manage to do this and so quickly? The answer lies in his humility-and the simple principles that spring from it. *Lead with Humility* explores 12 of these principles and shows how leaders and managers can adapt them for the workplace with equally impressive results. They include:

  Don't stand over your employees-sit down with them . Avoid insularity . Don't judge-assess . Take care of people, not lobbies . Go where you are needed . Temper ideology with pragmatism . Don't change-reinvent! . The boldest course can be the most prudent . And more

  Pope Francis's ability to inspire the world is unprecedented in modern times. *Lead with Humility* reveals the power of his methods, and helps anyone lead with grace and greater authenticity.Read less
