Theodore Roosevelton Servant-Leader “A leader should aim to build a life based on service.”
Serving: The Key to Leadership • A leader should aim to build a life based on service, not a career based on advancing up a series of positions. • No matter how personal the attack, your response should be aimed entirely toward advancing the goals of those you serve. • Courage can convey a heedlessness of self that confirms a leader’s complete commitment to service of others.
Service and Self-Development • Advance the goals of those whom the leader serves. • Forgive oneself when error is made in service of others. • Focus on perseverance, perspective, and courage in the service of others.
Service and Courage • An individual’s ability to carry on in the face of calamitous adversity showcases critical leadership traits, including perseverance, self-containment amidst difficult circumstances, courage, perspective, and an ability to focus on the needs of others rather than oneself. • Individuals who have mastered such challenges in their own lives are more apt to be viewed as leaders able to serve others.
Serving the Team • The welfare of your team is your overarching responsibility. • A leader should develop leaders, not merely followers. • Demonstrate faith in your team by delegation of authority. • Back up and protect your team consistently
