SERVANT LEADERSHIP<\/strong> Is a blend and balance between leader and servant. You don\u2019t lose leadership qualities when becoming a servant leader to your people no matter what happens.<\/p>\n

1. VALUES DIVERSE OPINIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS.<\/strong>
\nA servant leader values everyone\u2019s contributions and regularly seeks out opinions. If you must parrot back the leader\u2019s opinion, you are not in a servant-led organization to make things work effectively. Listening to your people’s contributions gives you a clear picture of what is really happening to them.<\/p>\n

2. CULTIVATES A CULTURE OF TRUST.<\/strong>
\nBuild a unique relationship with people, be confident in your dealings.
\nBelieve and have faith in your plans because those behind you, accept your vision.<\/p>\n

3. DEVELOP OTHER LEADERS\/ VISIONAIRE.<\/strong>
\nThe replication factor is very key. It means teaching others to lead, providing opportunities for growth and demonstrating by example. That means the leader is not always leading, but instead giving up power and deputizing others to lead in his\/her presence or absence. As the say goes by Leadership by example may be exhibited in all things.<\/p>\n

4. HELP OUT WITH LIFE ISSUES (NOT JUST WORK RELATED).<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s important to offer opportunities to subordinates for personal development beyond the job. Let\u2019s say you run a company program to lose weight, or lower personal debt. Having deeper conversations with clients will help you come out with the best solutions ever.<\/p>\n

5. ENCOURAGEMENT<\/strong>
\nThe hallmark of a servant leader is encouragement. And a true servant leader says, \u201cLet\u2019s go do it,\u201d not, \u201cYou go do it alone.\u201d We all do need these words to motivate us one way or other to keep pushing life hard.<\/p>\n

6. SELLS INSTEAD NOT OF TELLS.<\/strong>
\nA servant leader is the opposite of a dictator. It\u2019s a style all about persuading, not commanding and be selfless.<\/p>\n

7. THINK \u201cYOU,\u201d NOT \u201cME.\u201d<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s a selfless quality about every servant leader. Someone who is thinking only for himself, \u201cHow does this benefit me?\u201d is disqualified totally.
\nBe there for other’s at most times.<\/p>\n

8. THINKS LONG – TERM<\/strong>.
\nA servant leader is thinking about the next generation, the next leader, the next opportunity. That means a trade off between what\u2019s important today versus tomorrow, and making choices to benefit the future as well as the entire world.<\/p>\n

9. ACT WITH HUMILITY\/PASSION<\/strong>
\nThe leader doesn\u2019t wear a title as a way to show off who\u2019s in charge, doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s better than everyone else, and acts in a way to care for others.
\nHe \/ She may, in fact, pick up the trash or clean up a table. Setting an example of service, the servant leader understands that is not about the leader, but about others too.<\/p>\n

10. SERVANT LEADERSHIP<\/strong> is easy for people with high self-esteem. Such people have no problem giving credit to others, they have no problem listening to other people for opinions and have no worry in building other people up in life.<\/p>\n

Generally the very top people of truly great organizations are servant-leaders who are very submissive, respectful, selfless and hard working in everything they involve them selves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
