About this book
– A message from Julian Stodd
These pages form a reflection on humility and how, in the Social Age, leadership may be more ‘humble’ than ‘hero’.
My work explores the context of the Social Age, and how we can learn to be more humble and fair as Social Leaders.
This essay forms part of that journey. It is intended neither as a definition of humility nor a route map to get you there.
If anything, it’s an individual reflection. My own reflection, and structured as such. My own understanding and truth.
At best, I hope it provides you with a set of thoughts to kick off from: a place to start. But I should warn you that I suspect humility itself is not a destination, but rather a measure of the journey that we take.
Your truth is yours to find. I know people who are humble, but few who would describe themselves as such. The badge of humility may be one that is bestowed.
With that thought, humility may not be a state that we attain, but is, perhaps, a light that is shone upon our actions.
It’s not an intention, but rather a judgement. A measurement upon, or a shadow of, our deeds.

Synopsis
‘The Humble Leader’ is a reflection on humility in Social Leadership. It’s structured as a series of standalone pieces, each of which consists a personal reflection, and some questions to ask of ourselves or others. The whole book is only around 3,000 words, so very short, but that is because it’s not a book of answers, rather structure to consider our personal leadership within.
Also Available
Quiet Leadership is an exploration of leadership in the smallest of things: our mindset, our words and our actions, in every single day. It’s not about a grand aspiration, about formal objectives, or big development programmes. It’s not about the formal power you have been given, your ability to influence at scale, or the varied ways you exert control. It’s not about ‘one’ way of leading, but rather about a multitude of ways, and specifically about how you find ‘your’ way.
