This project was originally inspired by evidence in the psychology and leadership literature suggesting that exceptional organisations are often led by leaders who are not only persistent and hard-working, but also humble. Those who report to leaders who score highly in perceived humility have been found to enjoy higher work engagement, satisfaction, learning and personal contribution in the workplace.
