Servant Leadership

In this week’s episode, Chief Joy Officer, Faith Guy, takes over the podcast for Eric to discuss all things servant leadership.  Faith shares what servant leadership is, how you can become a servant leader, and why you should surround yourself with other servant leaders.

Takeaways:
- Servant leadership is a non-traditional leadership philosophy embedded in a set of behaviors and practices that place the primary emphasis on the well-being of those being served.
- Being a servant leader means giving 100% and expecting nothing in return.
- If you’re expecting something in return or manipulating a situation to benefit you, it’s not servant leadership, it’s selfish leadership.
- The best thing that you can do for somebody is to help them know that they are loved and capable of loving. So how are you doing that as a leader, friend or parent?
- Being a servant leader means that you are giving and not judging people in the process.

Quotes:
- “Give 100% and expect nothing in return.”
- “You can’t give 100% if you’re trying to get even 20% back from it.”
- “Don’t drain people with your expectations.”
- “Give out love like you’re made of it. Spread it like confetti.”
