Course 3, Discussion 1: Service Leadership at 7 Cups

@Tobedoctor

awesome answers <3

Question: What do you think of the idea of service leadership? Can you list one example of service leadership you have seen on 7 Cups?

Service leadership is the act of putting others first when it comes to serving. I think the act of service leadership can be both conducive and not good. When it comes to a community, service leading is awesome. You put other people's needs above your own, and often times a community will flourish. But its a double edged sword, putting others needs first can often have a negative affect on the person doing the leading. I think as long as there's a balance service leading is great. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, it was a pleasure rambling to you <3

oh and one example- definitely room supporters and forum leaders ( there is a better term but im unfamiliar with it) <3

@Jefferythebunny319 Super good answer, good job! <3

I think all good leadership is service leadership. Leaders are there to serve. We are all working towards a common goal. Everyone is part of it, even members. In the chatrooms, discussions and Sharing Circles we all work together.

I think we should pay more attention to the contributions of those that are less visible. Appreciation goes a long way.

It is especially those with less prominent roles or without roles who are integral to the site working well. Those with "bigger" roles should try to express that frequently.

This was the wrong place for my post. Sorry about that.

The main idea of service leadership is to serve others the way, that everything works correctly and everybody will follow the rules. An example of service leadership is the forum and room supporters.

@Trintzu

Room supporters really are a great example of service leadership.

@Trintzu good answer, good job! <3

Service leadership is all about helping and serving others.

I could name MANY exemples I seen on 7cups. Mentors, Room Supporters (member and listener rooms), Peers supports, Team leaders for projects (project agents), etc.
They all use their skills to help community first and help people to feel more comfortable on 7cups, work together, encourage and motivate them, achieve a commun goal. Remember everybody role and importance to self care, they are a role model.

Service leadership is about giving service to people through leadership. An example would be Quality Mentorship, helping to enhance the listener's listening skills.

@FrenchMarbles

Service Leadership is to perform a task as a spearhead by setting the roadmap for your team.

On 7cups, the mentors and other listeners constantly support and follow up to help other listeners grow.

Service leadership is putting other before your self.

rs and mods keep the rooms safe. Ps and cs help out doing a chat and after a chat.

crm helps keeps the l rooms safe.

✒️ Question: What do you think of the idea of service leadership? Can you list one example of service leadership you have seen on 7 Cups?

Service leadership means serving and helping others thrive in a community.

There are so many examples on 7 Cups: room supporters and mods in member rooms & listener rooms, forum supporters in forums, academy mentors supporting academy programs and helping trainees, etc.

@charmingFlower8111

I like how you've used the term serving😃... That's an accurate description of service leadership

@FrenchToastClub

Question: What do you think of the idea of service leadership?

I think service leadership, unlike dictatorship involves putting oneself in the shoes of the team-members... leading by example. For example, it would be cruel for a leader to expect something that they are not capable of doing from a team member.

Service leadership enables the leader to gain firsthand knowledge on the problems facing the team and can give the team members morale as he/she is putting their needs first.

Can you list one example of service leadership you have seen on 7 Cups?

Mentorship program and I think it qualifies as a service leadership because the mentor puts the needs of the mentee first and helps them develop and perform as highly as possible.

The idea of service leadership at 7 Cups is that it's our listeners, our hosts for our rooms, the people on the forums. Those are all service leadership roles at 7 cups. It's the leader role to serve our members and other listeners.

@KarmaTheRascal well answered.

@FrenchToastClub

Service leadership is exemplified by a leader who prioritizes human and skill development of others rather than profits and power. It is when the motto of the leader is foremost to serve. I feel like this form of leadership is seen in every aspect on 7cups and academy mentors and chat room supporters or even the listeners show it in some sense.

@beyoutofullkalon

Absolutely, well said :D

The idea of leadership is great because is gives the freedom to leaders to naturally integrate into a community and contribute to it. Once example is Mods in the Member and Listener chats who host and lead conversations.

@ItsMrEnigma

Love your example of the Mods for this post :)

@ItsMrEnigma

I like your point about it being a way to start to integrate into the community. That's a great way to put it!

Service leadership is especially giving and sacrificial. Service leadership describes a style of leadership in which the leader is taking the place of a servant position and offering assistance and skills that they acquire.

One example of service leadership I've seen on 7-cups is the standard listener support system itself. These individuals offer themselves as listeners to folks who need it. It is the primary and most important means of service on 7-cups!

@CurrySoup12 Oh yes, I like how you acknowledged the listener role as a leadership role as well!

@CurrySoup12

Yesss spot on:)

@FrenchToastClub I feel like service leadership is infectious, when one person helps another person, it makes them want to help others too! I really appreciate the mentors, coaches and chat/forum moderators. They have helped me and inspired me a lot!

🌹 The overall idea of service leadership is to serve, ie. to offer support understanding and warmth to others. Not to take over but to be fully committed to wellbeing and growth. This can be in various capacities, a Volunteer Listener being a great starting point.

🌹I think Heart4Art made a good comment when they said they felt service leadership is infectious, as when one person helps another, they help others too. I echo their sentiments.

@RainbowRosie

I completely agree with you. This is a great response!

@FrenchToastClub

Question: What do you think of the idea of service leadership? Can you list one example of service leadership you have seen on 7 Cups? Service leadership is leadership where the goal is to serve. I see this in forum supporters and community mods and basically everywhere honestly:)

@Rubylistens22

That's a great example, Ruby. 😇 They are always around, we can always count on them.

🌟 Isn't every role on 7C an example of service leadership? Whether you're solely a l-l listener, or you're responding/posting check-ins in the forum, or facilitating a guided session in group chat, reassuring another listener after a tough chat, etc, you're performing service leadership. <3 All roles are leadership roles with or without badges.

✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words!

@broadfemmelovelive

I love the example you gave, it offers a different perspective I didn't really think about. Listeners without leadership position can also provide service leadership. Also hi hi! I see our paths crossed again haha.

@richuyulin

Haha thanks for that :) and hi hi

Service leadership is defined as when someone has the heart to serve, has the courage to engage, and answers the call to lead. I think the idea of service leadership is pretty great because it would be fulfilling work for those involved and help better the community overall.

An example of service leadership I’ve seen on 7 Cups would be when people take on new roles that suit them to better serve others. Leadership position break down can be found here: <click me>
