Forget Yourself

It is a catchy phrase in Leadership Seminars all over the world right now: Servant Leadership.

Because it is so popular a term, it is very understudied. Servant Leadership is not a characteristic it is a pursuit. It is not easily achieved it is vigilantly maintained. It goes against human nature.

It means I am having faith that I have everything I need so I can give myself to helping you accomplish your goals.

The people we work for (see not work for us) don't really care much about what we need. They are concerned about their success. It is not about us at all. Most if not all people have had a boss that demands and cares only about his/her needs. It is invalidating and effects the morale.

The idea of servant leadership is that I forget my wants and desires knowing that they will be taken care of, that if I help you meet all your needs, I will be taken care of . It is a great shift. The challenge here is that you genuinely need to assist others without fear. It requires faith.

Is this just a good philosophy, a good go by, a nice way to exist? Well it is a win-win. It is selfless it is unique, and it is a decision. If you aren't getting results in terms of what you are currently doing commit (not try) to serving more people.

The amount of wealth received is in direct proportion to the amount of service we provide.
