In the 1970 essay "The Servant as Leader," Robert Greenleaf wrote, "The servant-leader is servant first... It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead."
The basic tenets of servant leadership call for leaders to:
- Devote themselves to serving the needs of organization members
- Focus on meeting the needs of those they lead
- Facilitate personal growth in all who work with them
- Listen and build a sense of community
Leading as a servant will have a strong impact on you as an individual and your organization. Give it a try and see what happens!!
