“First pride, then the crash – the bigger the ego, the harder the fall” Proverbs 16:18(MSG). Jim Collins, the author of Good to Great, observes that one of the primary trait of the CEOs who transforms good companies into great companies is not what one would expect. Mahaney is more concerned with the fact that true humility catches God’s attention. Chapter two Mahaney addresses the polar opposite of humility, namely, pride. It was pride that motivated Satan to tempt Adam and Eve and it was pride that brought their downfall. “There’s no sin more offensive to [God] than pride.”
