After attending the first part a training course on this weekend and working with the group of different managers (mid to senior level), I'd like to highlight a such event as the humble brag. You can find the definition by following the link urbandictionary.com, but I'll present the example:
Example 1:
- Are all theses booked slots in a corporate online conference tool valid or I can reuse one of them?
- Yes, I have extremely organized communication plan with the client and suppose that is client's happiness should be our goal. If you had the same project, you would understand me.
- What? 🤷♂️
Example 2:
A trainer end the end of the first day asks: "Do you have any feedback for me how I can improve the course for the next session?"
- Yes, I've been reading a lot about this topic, created an own board with own insights and is going to develop my own plan how to extend my knowledge about this topic in next couple days.
- What? 🤷♂️
To my mind, that is so annoying. At first, you do not want to hear the question. At second, you are trying to utilize the moment to show off.
The hilarious moment is that almost all course participants selected: Listening/Empathy/Self-awareness as the key points from the Servant Leadership principles
Dear faux servant leaders, start not only declaring, but thinking about what you are saying and what you are doing if you really want to change something in your behavior.
That is so easy to put non-relevant, self-promoting information into a sentence, that you even cannot notice at the first glance and it could require some time to start paying attention to that.
