Here are some thoughts about servant leadership, from Dan Sanders, the author of Built to Serve:
Leaders can delegate authority, but they can never delegate responsibility.
We are influenced by those around us; choose carefully by whom you wished to be influenced.
Great leaders understand the important role servant leadership plays in helping others to realize their potential.
Servant leadership requires time and patience, resulting in building relationships and friendships based on trust.
Leaders must discern when team members are ready for promotion.
Its is the leader's job to ensure winners on the team win.
Pride stalks even the most committed players in an organization.
An organization needs both a mission-oriented and a people oriented culture. The two must coexist and complement each other.
Things will go bad-adversity is a fact of life.
Make decisions based on principles, not popularity.
Make decisions based on a godly perspective, not a worldly perspective.
Leaders must create positive energy in an organization, not toxic energy.
Create a place of privacy where the team can think clearly and freely.
With adversity comes opportunities, but they must be sought actively.
Healing starts where pride stops.
Culture dictates whether great ideas will spring from anyone in the organization
