The Barrier of Systems
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “This is how we’ve always done it…” Would that be acceptable to you? Would you press into those routines to assess if they could be refined, to cut any excess, to add greater accountability, or possibly renovate entirely? If we’re honest, our teams and procedures could use some system assessment.
Making others Successful: Servant Leadership
In the most basic terms, Servant Leadership is about meeting the highest priority needs of another person. As servant leaders, we must train ourselves to recognize our team members’ high priority needs and seek ways to meet them, but not their every whim. True servant leadership removes barriers and empowers people to get things done, while helping them grow. Leaders intentionally present opportunities as a means for growth to occur. These moments give team members a chance to rise to the occasion, while serving as environments to develop their own skills and leadership.
