Humility in Leadership, with Scott Miller

Humility in leadership—Unlocking organizational success through humble leadership, collaboration, and growth. Discover the power of humility in leadership
Humility in leadership is a difficult trait to demonstrate, because many people equate showing vulnerability to showing weakness. However, humility in leadership can be a powerful part of your company culture, because it can build trust and can open the door for your employees to express their own vulnerability. Scott Miller is a 25-year associate of FranklinCovey and serves as the executive vice president of thought leadership, as well as being a bestselling author and the host of the world's largest and fastest growing podcast devoted to leadership development, On Leadership. Scott recently appeared as a guest on the Onward Nation podcast, where he discussed how showing humility in leadership can build trust, empower your employees, and become a key part of your company's culture.

Why a leader's job is to build capability in their team members, and why continuous coaching is a powerful way to show that you love your people
