Leading with a Serving Heart

As Thanksgiving approaches in the United States I thought it appropriate to post about becoming a leader with a serving heart. Leadership is more than being king of the hill. It is about creating a better future for all those around you.

Albert Schweitzer once said, "I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: The ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve".

It takes courage and strength to serve. Those who feel they are too important to serve will feel insecure in taking those actions they feel are beneath them. But consider any great leader you have known or observed. When the going got tough he or she, with rolled up sleeves, dove in to making something happen and didn't think twice about how they looked in the moment.

Leading with a serving heart immediately taps into and leverages so many other leadership qualities by the very nature of serving. Relationship building, inspiration, motivation, taking action, generosity, initiative, positive attitude, listening & communicating.

The true leader serves for the greater good. For the greater good of the country, organization, the community or family.

Learn to serve and you'll learn to lead.
