How can you be a serving leader?

One thing to remember: Servant leaders are a revolutionary bunch—they take the traditional power leadership model and turn it completely upside down. No matter what we are doing, every contribution made by listeners is equally phenomenal and valuable.

So what does it mean to serve as a leader in the role you are in? First, let us tell you what it does not mean:

1. It does not mean that you need to do more, be more, show more. This role signifies the contribution that is currently being made by you, and it's not about contributions we hope you will make in the future.

2. It does not mean we will be giving you more work. Our aim is to honor the work you have been previously/currently doing.

What does it mean:

1. It means that whatever you do in your role, your contribution will be thoroughly valued because even small things can have the biggest impact.

2. We'd love for you to take more self-care into your routine.

3. It's okay to say no if you can't do it. It's 100% okay to say no. It's only fair to you and the community.

In this sense, service leadership is simply about where you plan to spend your time. As a collective community, our aim is to honor your contributions, no matter where or how they manifest. We rise by lifting others!
