CAREERTIP: Humility can be a route to career advancement

Posted by on
Contrary to popular belief, which suggests that Machiavellian tactics such as self-promotion and aggression are essential for career advancement, humility can also serve as a potent catalyst for career success.

In the workplace, humility can lead to success. It is especially beneficial for those who find self-promotion challenging but are not afraid to acknowledge their weaknesses.

Humble professionals accurately assess themselves, admit mistakes, recognize others' strengths and contributions, and embrace the messy process of growth. This leads to psychological freedom, authenticity, job satisfaction, team performance improvement, and motivation. Humility is contagious and spreads throughout organizations.

Professional humility activates mentoring behavior and reveals leader status, increasing promotability ratings. Admitting mistakes in competitive situations may seem counterintuitive, but it highlights the importance of cultivating a supportive network through mentorship.

In contrast, choosing a path of dominance is riskier. A single error can make you vulnerable to competitors eager to take your place. Adopting humility, on the other hand, surrounds you with individuals who respect and support you, making mistakes more easily forgiven and paving a more resilient path to leadership.

While narcissistic professionals can be great leaders, they show less variability in their performance and emotional expressions.
