Being humble at work can help you advance in your career, a new study has found.
Climbing the corporate ladder has long been associated with having a dominant, self-serving personality, but humility can also help you progress, according to researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, University of Sussex in the U.K. and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
“Humility is characterized by a recognition of one’s limitations and an openness to new information and feedback, which facilitates learning and personal growth,” study co-author David Hekman, an associate professor at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business, told Newsweek.
