After spending decades as Wall Street darlings, arrogant business leaders are out of fashion. The new hotness for CEOs these days? Displaying humility, self-awareness and honesty.
In this new world, a good leader doesn’t brag about his "TEN BILLION DOLLARS," as Donald Trump's campaign did last week. A good leader doesn’t rank his workers and fire the bottom 10 percent each year, as revered General Electric CEO Jack Welch did back in the day. The new CEOs project humility. They apologize when they screw up. They admit when they don’t know something, and they empathize with their workers and treat them decently.
Wild, right?
“You have to be real and authentic. It requires having strong character,” the former CEO of Medtronic, Bill George, told The Huffington Post. “The Donald Trumps of the world, they make it in politics, not business.”
Since declaring his intention to seek the Republican nomination for president last month, Trump has been out on the campaign trail, touting his leadership skills and experience. But for the most part, the business world has actually moved past his autocratic style. The shift has happened gradually over the past few years, in part because the financial crisis bred a deep mistrust for overly confident leaders and in part because social media has made it much easier to call out a boss for arrogance or wrongdoing....

Because America needs a C suite of beta males?
They have problems with a winner’s mentality in the real world but are all in awe of it in sports.
Who writes this stuff?
New hotness?
Sounds like someone who has never been to a board meeting in her life.
That bunch wouldn’t know humility if it bit them on the backside.
Humility is one of those rare qualities that once you claim to have it, you prove you do not. Most of what people call humility these days is outright fraud.
Indeed, show humility before the political god-kings is the attitude on display here.
When it comes to the Huffsters, the issue is never the hypocrisy of the left; the issue is always the revolution.
You actually think an effeminate hysterical diva like Trump would make a good executive? Who would want to work for someone like that?
In other words, they act like liberal pussies?
...ahhhhhh..sumbody quick, warn Trumpster he must change tactics
Note to Peck: The picture of Arrogance is in thet man-child, not Trump.
BTW, Trump PAYS the people who work for him, right? I mean, unlike the Huff.
LMAO.. yeah how much profit did the Huff Post make last year vs the Trump organization?
Written by someone who has never sat in the boardroom behind the closed door. I have and I call B/S. :-)
RE: Humility new hotness in the C-suite
When the Board of Directors of Mozilla forced out Brendan Eich as CEO for quietly contributing to a Traditional Marriage initiative, is that humility or arrogance?
When Apple’s CEO Tim Cook condemns Indiana for a RFRA law that 20 other states have passed before it while still doing business in countries that jail and kill homosexuals, is that humility or arrogance?
When Goldman Sachs helped Greece to hide the extent of its financial woes in order to “qualify” to join the Euro, is that humility or arrogance?

It's not "bragging" when you're forced to disclose your financials in order to run for office.
This is what happens when you put liberals near any power. They think they know better.
Good luck libs. The kinder gentler ‘hotness’ will be quickly dined upon by Alphas in the Boardroom.
An exchange of insults--like pre-adolescent confrontations in a playground--is not an issue for anyone really serious about an American future, to get upset over. That the Journal would seek to focus attention on that exchange--and draw moral conclusions from that exchange, antagonistic to those who have the sense not to comment on that exchange--is to take journalistic absurdity into the clouds of really confused analysis.
Let me suggest that the Journal focus on something that concerns the U.S. Military, that is 1,000 times as important as Trump returning John McCain's insult, with one of his own. What is that?
In recent weeks and months there have been repeated threats from America haters, against our military personnel & their families. Yet the Administration still has Marines & others, serving as potential targets in "gun free zones." Does anyone reading this not believe that that is the sort of outrage that the Journal ought to be concerned with--not an exchange of insults?
Will anyone defend the mental priorities of the Journal staff, in this situation? They, not Senator Cruz, who has a sense of proportion, need to be the butt of condemnation & ridicule.
Maybe the Huffington girl reporter is angling for a job on the Journal?
