Sam Decker had this post about a Navy Seal yesterday that reminded me of the importance that humility plays in the integrity we carry in our professional and personal lives. So often in today's world, we work very hard to project a positive image. The world seems to force us into a mode of constantly "selling" ourselves (actually, there is no coercion from the world, it is simply a choice we make - a topic for a different post). From interviewing for a new job, to jockeying for position on the corporate ladder, to measuring parenting abilities against our friends, conversations tend to be led with the greatness of achievement and the puffing up of pride, but not with the humility to develop authentic relationships.
Seth Godin did a glancing blow on this topic as he addressed toxic employees and toxic bosses (those who have trouble working and playing well with others). In the simple eloquence that is Seth, he neatly described the "me first" attitude that can derail change. He also commented that great marketers have both humility and confidence. IMHO, I believe humility nurtures great confidence, and thus great leadership.
