There is a lot of talk about servant leadership in the business world. Living and leading as a servant leader is critical to building loyal and high-performing teams. There are three elements to implementation. First, live as a servant leader to your team, company, customers, and in your industry. Second, recruit servant leaders to your team. Third, celebrate servant leadership within your team when you see it.
What does servant leadership look like? Years ago, a friend told me about this well-qualified leader who would be perfect as a vice president on my team. The friend shared how the leader cleared the plates of his colleagues during an important meeting. Interestingly, the leader was one of the highest-ranking people in the room. I knew from that one story that I wanted this leader on my team. His humility, work ethic, and servant heart were inspiring. He turned out to be a fabulous hire and helped me set the tone for servant leadership on the team.
