“Pride is concerned with
who is right. Humility is concerned with
what is right.”
-Ezra Taft Benson
As leaders we should be concerned with what
is right, not if we are right. What
a great world it would be if we were all more concerned with what is right than
who is right. We spend a lot of time
defending our position, arguing our viewpoint and building our own individual
case. Is our position always what is
right? That seems doubtful. There are times we may be arguing for what is
right, but often we are just concerned with being right. Sometimes we even know that we are not right,
but we just can’t bring ourselves to admit that we are wrong. It should not be about being wrong. It should be about what is right. This is a tough one for many leaders. Often leaders think they are supposed to be
right and always have the answers. That
is not reality.
Leadership is not about being focused on oneself
and always being right. Leadership is thinking
more about others and what the right answer is for the situation. Do what is right. Practice humility…
