The Synergistic Role of Humility, Hope, and Humor in Leadership

So far in this book I have discussed the characteristics of humility, hope, and humor as discrete, unique tools for leaders to use. I will also look at these qualities individually in a later chapter, where I will discuss how they fit into leadership theory. In this chapter, I will argue that all three of these roles can be used by a leader together and that they can become the central part of a leader’s style. In making this argument, I will explain the relationship between all three, and I will provide examples of leaders who displayed these characteristics.
