Servant Leadership Defined: “Helps others…”
This is the first in a series of posts that will explore KINDLE’s definition of “Servant Leadership”.
KINDLE has define Servant Leadership as the following:
A KINDLE Servant Leader helps others celebrate their Baptismal identity, become more Christ-like and commit to the development of others as Christ-like servant leaders.
The first thing I notice about this definition is that it is focused on others. The definition does not illustrate the Servant Leader, but rather describes those served by that leader. It is a phenomenal and crucial shift in focus.
Have you ever considered looking at the people you lead to help you discern how you are leading? It is a somewhat frightening thought. Of course, we cannot control the actions of others, and yet, if we are hoping to serve them, then a good look at how they’re doing and how we can help is a place to begin. Yes?
