What Is It To Be Intellectually Humble?

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.


- C. S. Lewis -

What Is It To Be Intellectually Humble?

According to Aristotle, "All people by nature desire to know." The wish to know and understand things can foster great ambition. But this article is about intellectual humility, when we care so much about knowing, understanding, and getting to the truth that we become oblivious of what we are "worth." The apostle Paul says, "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." Can love of knowledge bring us humility? Read on... { read more }

Uncovering the Blind Spot of Leadership

The success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervenor.

- Bill O'Brien -

Uncovering the Blind Spot of Leadership

Why do many of our attempts to address the challenges of our times fail? This article presents the view that two leaders in the same environment acting in the same way can bring about completely different outcomes depending on the inner place from which each operates. We know very little about this inner dimension and this lack of knowledge constitutes a blind spot in our approach to leadership and management. This article sheds light on the inner dimension of leadership and presents seven leadership capacities to develop in order to become a more effective leader. "Profound change today not only requires a shift of the mind, it requires a shift of the will and a shift of the heart." { read more }

Be The Change

Today, take a moment to consider the inner conditions from where your leadership practices are emerging. How can you lead from a deeper place?

8 Fearless Questions

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.

- Horatio Spafford -

8 Fearless Questions

"What, really, is available to us if we can't save the world? What do we fund our work for? Where do we gain energy if we don't believe that we're going to be successful? How can we do our work without hope that we will succeed? There's something very interesting to understand about hope. That is, that hope and fear are one. Any time we're hopeful, we don't know it necessarily, but we're bringing in fear. Because fear is the constant, unavoidable companion of hope. What this simply means is that I hope for a certain outcome and I'm afraid I won't get it. I hope for a certain result and I'm fearful it won't happen. This is the way that hope and fear are wedded together. There is a place called, 'beyond hope and fear.' It is to be free from hope, so that we are free from fear." In this honest question and answer session, Margaret Wheatley takes a deep look at fear and ways to lessen and even utilize its impact on us. { read more }

Challenge yourself today to not think about the results of what you do, whether it's work, art, or a favor for a friend. Do it only for the sake of doing it and offer those actions up to a higher good.

The Morality of Meditation

Meditation is a flower and compassion is its fragrance

- Osho -

The Morality of Meditation

Meditation is a hot trend in the arena of mind-improvement. Mounting evidence that the practice can boost memory, creativity and IQ has attracted mainstream attention. "But gaining competitive advantage on exams and increasing creativity in business weren't of the utmost concern to Buddha and other early meditation teachers. As Buddha himself said, "I teach one thing and one only: that is, suffering and the end of suffering." But does meditation work as promised? Is its originally intended effect -- the reduction of suffering -- empirically demonstrable?" David DeSteno's lab put that question to the test and he shares their intriguing results in this New York Times article. { read more }
