Reputation and Humility in Corporate Management

Antonio Argandona

No D/1071, IESE Research Papers from IESE Business School

Abstract: Although virtue ethics has gained a firm presence in the theory and practice of corporate management, humility is not ranked as one the chief virtues in the business world. This is probably due to an incomplete or incorrectly focused view of what it means to be a humble person, why a good manager must be humble and how a modest outlook can contribute to both the firm's and the manager's success and reputation.
