yes, sir....always

Humility is being approachable, confident (fearless) and cheerful.  Humility helps one manage criticism, hostility and negative strokes, with tact, inventiveness and humour.  Humility helps one keep the mind open for new: ideas, interests, knowledge, adaptations, conversations, learning, behaviours, approaches, relationships, activities, improvements, progress, successes ... and in short, smiles!  Humility helps maintain poise in the face of adverse or most favourable circumstances!!  Actually, humility, also helps one know the limitations, and the person is consequently, realistic yet assertive, and the person knows when to say - NO: emphatically!  Humility, actuates a person to action, a humble person can approach any individual and do business with!  A humble person is also approachable - ideal trait for business!! 

So in short, for even-mindedness, approachability, learning, cheer and progress, humility is a major virtue. In inter-personnel relationships, humility helps engage in mutually acceptable, likable and progressive transactions.  When a person is humble (yet not a doormat) it means the individual is committed to reasonable and mutually beneficial relationship.  That is why humility is a most sought after trait in leadership. Humble persons are not weak, they are strong, open-minded, fearless, learning oriented, believe in mutualism (win-win), tactful, cheerful and have equipoise!  Humility is then a characteristic, which is infectious! The nub of the matter is that one should knock off the imagery that being humble means acquiescence and weakness.  Humility is not about compromising and being weak.  A humble person is strong, able to negotiate, smile, be confident (fearless), problem-solving, learning oriented, poised, not agitated, progressive, positive, energetic, approachable and likable. In organizations, humility as an organizational attribute is key to organizational success.  A humble organizational personality is approachable, confident and enjoys enduring success.  A humble organization is strong due to adaptability.  Humble organizations are business savvy.

Humility and manipulation all play their part in ‘winning’ debates, usually at the cost of overall effectiveness. flattery is more important than candour like always.
