About Humbitious: The Power Of Low-Ego, High-Drive
Product Description Fortune favors the humble.Arrogant. Charismatic. Narcissistic If you were to name traits that define strong leaders, these are some of the words that likely spring to mind. Conventional thinking would have us believe that it’s those filled with hubris and free of self-doubt that make the best leaders. The evidence, however, tells quite a different story.In Humbitious, professional speaker, executive coach and distinguished Trinity University professor Amer Kaissi shatters the common myths about leadership being an ego-driven game. Drawing on extensive research, personal stories, and fascinating historical examples of leadership done right (and wrong), Kaissi reveals why the most effective, high-performing leaders aren’t those with the biggest egos, but who possess humility, coupled with ambition and drive.Tracing triumphs (and missteps) of leaders from Napoleon Bonaparte to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, soccer star Alex Morgan to Costco CEO Jim Sinegal, and others, Kaissi illuminates what true humility is—and what it isn’t—and how to cultivate it within yourself and with others. As you gain insight into this critical leadership trait, you’ll come to understand that humility requires ambition, courage, and fierce determination. Humility, you’ll learn, isn’t about false modesty; it’s about being honest with yourself, and others, about your abilities and potential, so you can make a realistic plan for improvement.The unequivocal truth is that the successful narcissists that you either know or are working for right now are the exception to the rule. The highest performers are those who adopt and integrate humility into their relationships with others, with their organizations, and with themselves. Because fortune favors not simply the bold—but the humbitious. Review "This book makes a compelling case that you don't need a big ego to do great things. Amer Kaissi demonstrates that humility isn't a sign of weakness-it's a source of strength for leaders." Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife"How can leaders display humility while remaining ambitious? Amer Kaissi reveals the fascinating answers in this entertaining and evidence-based book." Dr. Tasha Eurich, organizational psychologist and New York Times bestselling author of Insight and Bankable Leadership. "Too often, we underestimate the enormous strength it takes to practice skills like kindness and humility. With Humbitious, Amer Kaissi has exposed humility not just as a virtue worth striving for, but also as a valuable tool for success. I highly recommend this book for readers at any stage of their leadership journey." Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND Snacks "In a world where leadership models are changing, Amer Kaissi's book clarifies the notion that effective leaders succeed the most when they relate and connect to the people around them. Kaissi shatters the myths about what humility really means, and shows us that it is not weakness, but actually requires inner confidence and a strength of character many don't possess. He demonstrates that arrogance and dictatorship may help in the very short term, but rarely lead to sustainable, impactful success. Read this book to ask yourself the tough questions and get inspired to adopt a new model of leadership success." Maria Ross, brand strategist, speaker, and author of The Empathy Edge"An entertaining and brilliantly compelling argument for humble honesty. In an era when brash celebrity is often marketed as leadership, Amer Kaissi deftly weaves research and the experiences of leaders-some impressive and some not-into a convincing case that humility unlocks our potential." Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Army (Ret.), Joint Special Operations Command About the Author Amer Kaissi is an award-winning professor of health care administration at Trinity
