Chapters

Number one misconception of servant leadership. Servant leadership isn't submissiveness. Being a servant leader doesn't mean that you don't hold people accountable. What it means is, is that you're so invested in individual growth that you're willing to have any conversation, even hard conversations, with people, even firing them if it's what's best for them, because you're so committed to them. You see, it's less about action and more about heart. Set when your heart is set on your team to be a service leader, you serve your company, you serve your clients at a much higher capacity. It builds retention, it builds loyalty, and it makes a culture of fun.
