Intellectual Humility &
Value Based Leader
It’s nice to be smart
Mr. / Ms. Know-it-all

Smartness does not mean being a critic and simply
pointing out flaws and mistakes in another person's work
and just praising your own work.
Others are looking at how knowledge is used and acquired in social situations.
Still others are interested in using intellectual
humility to promote better discourse between
disagreeing parties.
"When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be
disappointed to discover
they are not it."
- Bernard Bailey
We human beings are seekers.

Intellectual
The understanding or mental
powers of a particular person.
Humility
The quality of being humble
or having a lowly opinion of
oneself.
• You don’t know everything
• There is more to learn
• Not using your knowledge as a way to get advantage
over others
• You are respectful
• Listen closely to what the other has to say, so you learn
something
Writing in the Harvard Business Review, it was noted:
“An effective modern leader requires a blend of intellectual
qualities – the ability to think analytically, strategically and
creatively – and emotional ones, including self-awareness,
empathy, and humility.
Great leadership begins with being a whole human being and I meet far more
women with this blend of qualities than I do men.”
The Ability to Learn
• How is this impacting you?
• How is this impacting our LC?
Value Based Leader
Let’s start it with question...
Question
1. Think of a leader that you look up to the most.
2. Qualities about him/her that you admire the
most?
3. What makes this person so special? Why these
qualities? How did this person change you?
Beyond power or authority,
leadership is earned through trust and
developing a sense of shared values.
Value-Based Leadership
“Becoming the best kind of leader isn't about emulating a
role model or a historic figure. Rather, your leadership
must be rooted in who you are and what matters most to
you.
When you truly know yourself and what you stand for, it
is much easier to know what to do in any situation.”
Self Awareness
Know yourself
Lead yourself before leading others
Value <-> Quality
• Values and qualities are not the same.
• Values are who you are. Essence of who we are
as human beings
• Qualities are what you do in order to honor your
values.

perform to the best of my ability

contribute to the accomplishment of my JD.

“Conflict in Values”
Imagine...
You have a team-member like them:
1. What are the underlying values indicative of such
beliefs or behaviors?
2. How are these personal values in line or in conflict with
organizational values? How about your values?
3. How do you reconcile such conflict?
“I have rarely found situations where people were
fired because they were technically incompetent.
I have, however, I found many situations where
they were terminated because their value system
clashed head-on with that of their supervisor or
board of directors.”
- Bob Rue
