Course 2: Becoming a 7 Cups Leader - (Discussion #2) Service Leadership at 7 Cups

@audienta

That's a point .

Though am never into chatrooms, just to say a Hi. I like listening to 1-1 way. I will try being active in chatrooms.

@Heather225

What do you think of the idea of service leadership?

I really like the concept! It's so important to help and support each other.

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

Yeah, I often see it in the listener support room. When a listener comes in after a rough chat, everyone is so nice and consoling.

How can you become a better "servant' to our community?

By helping and supporting my fellow listeners! <3

@Ninziesss

true and simple words.

that's what 7 cups is, a very calm and composed platform for who all are in need .

@Heather225

What do you think of the idea of service leadership?

It is to learn- A leader duty is first to learn , to observe surroundings and to learn from everything they see.

It is to serve - after learning, its always the duty to serve or to share the knowledge u have had with those in need and for those who asks for it. The knowledge gained should always be served to those in need or else it is "zero knowledge".

Last but not least , by sharing the knowledge and supporting them- up-bring the leaders, "only a teacher can make a student a future teacher" therefore, by learning, serving, guiding, lets make other better leaders for best tomorrow.

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

Anyone here doing any work or any support activities here, as per their own willingness, as per their service mind is a leader on their own. We don't have to be a Mentor, leader or an ambassador to prove that we are leaders. A listener is a leader , y..??? even a member, who thinks he has issues to be resolved, who believes in himself , who wants to be a better human is a leader himself, leading way to many such people behind him.

How can you become a better "servant' to our community?

To believe in ourselves, to believe in the community and to believe that serving others is serving the "Nature".

@LoveTracker

Lion I love your response to "How can you become a better "servant'' to our community?" It shows you have a lot of passion for what you are doing! Thank you for being part of the team <3

@CalmWaves3939

Was just going to say the same thing! Isn't it great?

@sunnyLion4273 nice post

@sunnyLion4273

Right on point 👏👏

@Heather225

1) To me the idea of service leadership is leading with a purpose such as to support others and in order to provide a service to people of a specific group.

2) On 7 cups we see service leadership everywhere we turn from room supports to mentors to community mods. We all have a purpose, and we are all leaders. An example of a service leadership role on 7 cups is a chatroom moderator as they work hard to serve the community by creating a welcoming and safe space for all. Chatroom moderators spend a lot of time servicing group chats to make them as welcoming, effective and supportive as possible for everyone.

@CalmWaves3939


leading with purpose is a great way of putting it, i love that! good job!

@CalmWaves3939 amazing and informative post

@CalmWaves3939

wonderful post that you've made.

you've got this.

- Lena

@CalmWaves3939 exactly 👏👏👏

@CalmWaves3939 I love your response! Leading with a purpose, wonderful

3) To become a better servant for the community I think we could all focus on what the community wants and needs to improve. Without knowing what people want and need any improvements would be wasted. Becoming a better servant involves listening to others and taking in feedback and using that feedback to further your development

@Heather225

@magicalOcean594

I agree with what you said about watching people grow.

Im happy to hear that you like watching people grow!

And yeah, without those leaders, we wouldn't know what to do. I also appreciate those ambassadors and community leaders.

Also, you sound like a great listener! Reaching out to your members is a great quality! I'm pretty sure your members are happy to have you!

@magicalOcean594

at first I got kinda scared from the big letters but I liked reading it, I'm glad I read through it.

You've got this keep it up.

- Lena

@magicalOcean594

I agree, teamwork is dream work.

@Heather225

I think 7cups is absolutely full of service leadership, and that it makes it the supportive environment it is! When you think on a wider level, who makes the best leaders? Those who serve their community. I had never heard of the term service leader before.

One example... Discussion leaders I feel are good service leaders, empowering others to learn more about themselves or a particular topic, through leading a discussion, helping them to grow through the discussions as they come up with their own ideas, beliefs.

Massive thanks to all the leaders, service leaders out there x

I think I can become a better servant to the community by giving back.. 7cups has and will continue to serve me, now, I'm lookin to see how I can do the same, following in its footsteps, giving emotional support to others, empowering them. I will be guided by my members, adapting my listening style to them.

I'm happy to hear that you like 7 cups service leadership!

Yeah right! The best leaders serve the community.

I'm happy to hear that you like the discussions in 7 cups!

Giving emotional support and adapting your listening styles are good qualities! I think you will make a great leader!

@SparklingSeashells

I love the way you wrote it all down it words, keep it up you've got this.

- Lena

It's actually a great idea if the leaders main goal is to serve. that kind of leader will make the followers feel fullfilled.

Examples:

-Ambassadors helping the participants in the Leadership Development program

-Community leaders being supportive in support rooms

-Ambassadors making posts and forums

How can I be a better "servant"?

I'm gonna train my skills to help others and I'm will make sure that I will be supportive whenever I can.

@Aileen1114117

Leaders being accessible, yesssss

@Aileen1114117

Love your answer :)

@allnaturalbeYOUty

Love it! You don't have to know everything, you just have to know how to find out :p

I feel like this community doesn't really like that some people are under the radar they do a lot and that they want you to be a Service Leader and maybe not everyone wants to be that and that should be okay. Just because someone doesn't purposely do something to be recognized doesn't mean that don't need a compliment. I can't name one aspect where I saw a service leader.

I actually love this post so much

What do you think of the idea of service leadership?

I've heard it before from some others on 7Cups, it was super well explained here

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

I have so many hehe, the first that comes to mind is on the Peer Appreciation Team that I'm one of the leaders for. It's a very warm, supportive environment focused on the needs of humanity <3

@WarmLightXO amazing post

@WarmLightXO

I like your answers Light, and your example for service leadership was a very good one.

@Heather225

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

A: The idea of service leadership, actually sounds pretty neat. I think it will be good for the community and that it will show its value, it also could set a good example for other people.

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

A: As a listener but also when I used to use my member account when a group chat would become difficult for me some listeners would send me a message and check up on me and if I wasn’t doing so good they would help me through it, as a listener I see people putting reminders in and help the member in feeling better both listeners and members I see doing this.

Q: How can you become a better "servant' to our community?

A: As a listener I can control how I help people and how I act in my roles. What I can do is to learn more about certain topics, become better in some topics, I could try to get more involved in some parts of the community, to try becoming a better listener every day.

@kenzolena

Your answer was very good. I liked your proactive approach when you answered the question on how to become a better servant to the community. Your example was good as well.

@kenzolena I liked the part where you said that service leadership can be set a good example. I love these responses

@Heather225

What do you think of the idea of service leadership?

I think that the idea of servant is a great definition of what a leader can be and this definition opens up the idea that the leader is for the people, rather than what we usually assume what leaders are.

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

I think the roles here at 7 cups are moulded from the concept of service leadership. I think the role of a Mentor would be a really good example as they serve the mentees and help them become better servant leaders in the role they are in.

How can you become a better "servant' to our community?

I think by knowing more about the role and responsibilities the leadership role entails in and sharpening our skills to accommodate and manage those responsibilities is a good way to become a better servant to our community.

@blissfulForest7074

These are really good answers
