#75 Radical Humility: Why Humble Leadership is the Key to Winning in Today’s World with Urs Koenig

Season #3 Episode #75

In today’s episode we talked with former UN and NATO peacekeeper, professor, and bestselling author Oars COnig about why humble leadership is the key to winning in today’s world. 

In this episode and his new book, Radical Humility: Be a Badass Leader AND a Good Human, Urs challenges the common misconception that humility equals weakness and presents the idea that winning in today’s world requires a new kind of humble leadership.

We explore the three core pillars of this leadership style:

  1. Deep self-awareness
  2. Focus on collaborative relationships
  3. Growth mindset

Additionally, we break down the shift from "THEN" leadership, which organizations are used to, to "NOW" leadership, which embraces radical humility. This shift is explained through five key transformations:

  1. Dig Deep – Know yourself, focus like an elite athlete, and fail successfully.
  2. Tough on Results, Tender on People – Care deeply about others while maintaining high standards.
  3. Lead like a Compass – Prioritize clarity over control and create a leadership development culture.
  4. Full Transparency – Be honest about your weaknesses and share the truth.
  5. Champion a Fearless Culture – Build teams that challenge norms because "Everything you want is on the other side of fear" (Jack Canfield).

Tune in to learn how you can embrace radical humility to become a badass leader and a good human!
