FOREWORD
Only rarely does a book make me stop, put it down, and pray. From its opening pages to the very end, Humble Leadership made me do just that. Acting as a spiritual director, friend, and coach, Graham Standish draws readers into a deeper place to reflect upon their attitudes, motives, and practices of religious leadership.”

Chapter 1: Humble Leadership
Traditionally, humility is understood as a virtue. And humility is a Christian virtue because, like all other virtues, the practice of humility opens us to Christ's presence; or more specifically, it enables us to pay attention to Christ's presence and guidance. Humility orients us more toward the spiritual so that we can live a life of Spirit. Another way to understand humility is to view it as a state of being in which we become radically open to God throughout our lives. Humility is a way of life in which we become consumed with seeking God's direction rather than living purely according to our instincts, conditioning, and insights. For the Christian, humility integrates our spiritual and human natures in a way that allows us to become united with Christ.
