Leadership: The No. 1 Thing Holding You Back As A Leader…Servant Leaders are Among the Most Effective & Passionate Leaders Walking the Planet
Leadership isn’t nearly as complex as people make it out to be, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. The big difference between highly effective leaders and those just playing at leadership is often found in their willingness to do what Doesn’t come Naturally or Instinctively. Real leadership begins in the moment you realize leadership has little to do with the leader, and everything to do with those the leader serves.
My belief (and my experience) shows leadership not linked to service is nothing short of a farce. In fact, it is understanding the link between service and leadership that underpins sustainability and fosters a true culture of leadership. I was recently asked the following question: If servant leadership is so powerful, why isn’t its use and application more prevalent? What a great question. While this question could be answered in many ways, any well-developed response would eventually boil down to the following theme: the practice of servant leadership is antithetical to our human nature and our current culture.

We live in a culture obsessed with celebrity. And most people, if honest, will admit they spend more time trying to find their way into the spotlight, rather than look for ways to shine the light on others. That said, the concept of “servant leadership” and its resultant output of “service beyond self” are practices that resonate with everyone who has ever been on the receiving end of the service.
However the sad reality is our nature adversely affects our perspective, as service is often undermined by shortsighted self-interest. What most people intuitively understand, but fail to keep at the forefront of their thinking, is that our personal success and fulfillment will be much more closely tied to how we help others than what we do for ourselves.
If you’re interested in learning more about the practice of servant leadership, I invite you to join me at the World Leaders Conference next month in Miami, FL. It’s a conference dedicated to the practice of servant leadership. I’ll be serving as a backstage host facilitating discussions between speakers and attendees. Join me and come prepared to take your leadership to an altogether new level.
