In this week’s episode, Chief Joy Officer, Faith Guy, takes over the podcast for Eric to discuss all things servant leadership. Faith shares what servant leadership is, how you can become a servant leader, and why you should surround yourself with other servant leaders.
Takeaways:
- Servant leadership is a non-traditional leadership philosophy embedded in a set of behaviors and practices that place the primary emphasis on the well-being of those being served.
- Being a servant leader means giving 100% and expecting nothing in return.
- If you’re expecting something in return or manipulating a situation to benefit you, it’s not servant leadership, it’s selfish leadership.
- The best thing that you can do for somebody is to help them know that they are loved and capable of loving. So how are you doing that as a leader, friend or parent?
- Being a servant leader means that you are giving and not judging people in the process.
Quotes:
- “Give 100% and expect nothing in return.”
- “You can’t give 100% if you’re trying to get even 20% back from it.”
- “Don’t drain people with your expectations.”
- “Give out love like you’re made of it. Spread it like confetti.”
