Servant Leadership – What type of leader do YOU want to be?
Who is Leadership for? In other words, if you are leader…who’s should reap the benefit of your leadership?
The answer to that question is the difference between worldly leadership and servant leadership. If you care about the people you lead, if you have your follower’s best interests in mind, if you want to see your people succede, then you are a servant leader.
I believe many of the problems we see in corporate america are due to worldly leadership…being a leader primarily for your own gain and your own glory.
When you seek to serve others, and help them grow and succede, they will benefit, the organization will benefit, and ultimately the mission of your organization will be realized.
In the coming week, ponder this thought: Why am I leading? What am I doing to help my people be successful?
Now…go and BE that type of leader.
