    A person-centered approach to expressed humility in leadership
    (Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium, 2017-05) McLarnon, Matthew J. W.; Weinhart, Justin M.; O'Neill, Thomas A.; Dumaisnil, Aidan
    An emerging topic within the leadership literature is that of expressed humility, as it has been considered critical for leading during challenging circumstances (Owens, Johnson, & Mitchell, 2013). Owens et al. proposed a model of expressed humility encompassing the facets of a) viewing one’s self accurately, b) appreciating the strengths of others, and c) being open to feedback from others. However, they overlooked the possibility of discrete types of leaders characterized by varying levels of the expressed humility facets. Here, we examined expressed humility through a person-centered lens, which represents a novel perspective on expressed humility, and leadership in general, as the vast majority of past research has used variable- centered approaches.

    Profiles of expressed humility in leadership
    (Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology, 2017-04) McLarnon, Matthew J. W.
    From both research and practical standpoints, the interest in expressed humility has grown substantially. This is likely associated with humility being considered as a core organizational value. In the current study, we build upon the growing literature by examining expressed humility in leadership with a person-centered approach. This approach revealed that a three- profile solution was optimal, and invariant across two samples. Further, leadership self-efficacy and team performance, treated as an outcome of humility, demonstrated differences across all three profiles. Results further supported the importance of the expressed humility construct, but also help shed light on person-centered approaches to leadership.
