About the book. We look for authority in our experts and leaders - people unafraid of assuming power, keen to impact others and make a difference in the world. Yet, too often, people who aspire to power become hooked on it. Anyone who wants to make a difference in the world would do well to embody a healthy balance between humility and authority. Humble Authority benefits not only the person in authority but, even more, those around them. They will suffer neither from needing to defend themselves from the misuse of power, nor from dealing with a stance that is weak or indecisive. The pitfalls of being either too powerful or powerless disappear when humility and authority form a generative complementarity. In these uncertain times, where there is a deep distrust of traditional authority and a concomitant attraction to populist platforms, the message of this book is both practical and timely. Jan M.
