How did a relatively unknown priest from Argentina rise so quickly from obscurity to one of the top leaders of the twenty-first century? The answer lies in his humility, as well as the simple principles that have sprung from it. In the years since his election to the highest position in the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has breathed life into an aging institution, reinvigorated a global base, and created real hope for the future. His early accomplishments have been so remarkable that in 2014, Fortune magazine awarded the top spot of their coveted World’s Greatest Leaders list not to a captain of industry or political leader but to the new pontiff. Lead with Humility explores 12 of these principles and shows how other leaders and managers across a broad spectrum can adapt them for the workplace with just as impressive results as our great pope has. These invaluable principles include: Don't stand over your employees--sit down with them Don't judge—assess Take care of people, not lobbies Go where you are needed Temper ideology with pragmatism Don't change--reinvent! Even just a few years in, it is clear to all that Pope Francis's ability to inspire the world is unprecedented in modern times. Lead with Humility reveals the power of his methods, and helps anyone lead with the humility, grace, and authenticity that has elevated the pope to where he is today and had a direct impact in inspiring everyone and everything around him.

Liderar com Humildade nasceu da profunda admiração de Jeffrey A. Krames pelo estilo de liderança do Papa Francisco. Baseia-se na humildade e nos princípios simples mas extremamente poderosos e transformadores que dele advêm. Com o objetivo de transpor estes princípios fundamentais para o âmbito empresarial, o autor apresenta-nos 12 lições que nos falam da humildade, da aproximação às pessoas, da reinvenção das instituições, da coragem de sair da zona de conforto, entre outras temáticas que, se aplicadas com autenticidade às empresas, produzirão resultados impressionantes. São ideias-chave que ajudam qualquer pessoa a tornar-se um líder mais autêntico e produtivo, um líder que espontaneamente conquista e estimula os seus colaboradores, companheiros de equipa e clientes. É na sua capacidade de liderar com humildade que reside a força do Papa Francisco, o homem que deu um novo fôlego à Igreja Católica e que, segundo a revista Fortune, é hoje o maior líder mundial.

With an introduction on using the principles of The Servant in your life and career, this book redefines what it means to be a leader. In this absorbing tale, you watch the timeless principles of servant leadership unfold through the story of John Daily, a businessman whose outwardly successful life is spiraling out of control. He is failing miserably in each of his leadership roles as boss, husband, father, and coach. To get his life back on track, he reluctantly attends a weeklong leadership retreat at a remote Benedictine monastery. To John's surprise, the monk leading the seminar is a former business executive and Wall Street legend. Taking John under his wing, the monk guides him to a realization that is simple yet profound: The true foundation of leadership is not power, but authority, which is built upon relationships, love, service, and sacrifice. Along with John, you will learn that the principles in this book are neither new nor complex. They don't demand special talents; they are simply based on strengthening the bonds of respect, responsibility, and caring with the people around you. The Servant's message can be applied by anyone, anywhere—at home or at work. If you are tired of books that lecture instead of teach; if you are searching for ways to improve your leadership skills; if you want to understand the timeless virtues that lead to lasting and meaningful success, then this book is one you cannot afford to miss.
