What if your organization had more than one ‘go to’ person? What if there were several people at different levels that you could trust to lead?

Traditional leadership models all too often lead to a systematic erosion of trust—subterfuge, disengagement, low productivity and low quality, corruption, and worse—asserts a new book out today. According to a pioneer of organizational culture studies and MIT professor Ed Schein and his son, Peter Schein, the traditional leadership style is the root of many of the problems faced by organizations today, writes Stephanie L.

This new book, Humble Leadership: The Power of Relationships, Openness, and Trust, available today on Amazon and at other major booksellers, introduces a new leadership model which reimagines a form of leadership that coincides with emerging trends of relationship building, complex group work, and diverse workforces, and answers the call of challenges in this fast-paced and volatile world today.

This book is for all managers and leaders who have the motivation, the scope, and the flexibility to create change in their organizations. Humble Leadership is most needed in our corporations, but is equally relevant to the other sectors of society such as medicine, the arts, political institutions, not-for-profits, sports teams, local community organizations, and so on.

The Humble Leadership model is for leaders, but it is not just for those in leading roles. It assumes leadership exists in all corners and levels of all organizations. Leadership is a complex mosaic of relationships, not a two-dimensional (top-down) status in a hierarchy, nor a set of unusual gifts or talents of “high-potential” individuals. In short, Humble Leadership is for everyone.
