"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
--Harry S. Truman
"He who exalts himself shalt be humbled, and he who humbles himself shalt be exalted."
--Luke 14:11
Having graduated from Wharton, I decided that it was time for a new name for my blog. Welcome to Humblement
Since reading The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria, I have been thinking a lot about the importance of humble leadership. What I noticed from the book is that most hegemons tend to fall because of leaders who -- because of a successful history -- believes that their nation is invincible. They turn insular and believe everything that is great is only in their company/state. Think of Hitler and Napoleon trapsing into Russia. Think of China closing its borders to trade in the Middle Ages. Think of the British Empire overextending its empire.
I strongly believe in the importance of humble management. Hence - Humblement.
