After working with some of the greatest leaders across the globe, authors Merwyn A. Hayes and Michael D. Comer began to notice patterns among effective leaders—and the habits of ineffective ones. Time and time again, those who failed to inspire their followers led with arrogance, poor listening skills, and a lack of respect. This prompted the authors to search for and unearth the true keys to leadership success: humility, honesty, and authenticity. You too can become a humble—but successful—leader. Start with Humility: Lessons from America’s Quiet CEOs on How to Build Trust and Inspire Followers reveals the common traits among some of the top leaders in the world who lead through humility. For example, you’ll learn how Craig Weatherup, former CEO of Pepsi-Cola and board member at Starbucks and Macy's, applied the concepts of accountability and simplicity to turn around Pepsi's international business. With the sixty techniques for more effective leadership found in this book, you’ll begin to “train your brain” using the model developed by the authors through their extensive research. Learn what humility is and how you can use it to effect transformational change.
