This Weeks PMChat Topic Is Servant Leadership

If you haven’t discovered the concept of Servant Leadership you are not alone. The modern servant leadership movement was launched by Robert K. Greenleaf in his 1970 essay, “The Servant as Leader”, and although this management style has been around for years the concepts and underlying philosophies were often practiced in ‘Faith Based’ businesses and organizations. But this is now changing ……

Companies that have adopted the principles of Servant Leadership (sometimes known as the New Golden Rule). Companies are quickly discovering that the philosophies, if honestly adopted:

  • Create intensely positive supportive relationships,
  • Fiercely loyal employee employer relationships,
  • Intensified productivity,
  • Sustainable growth and
  • Higher profits.

Servant leadership requires acknowledging people, backing people up and treating people as business partners—in short, “leading with love.” It is not soft management; it’s smart management.

When leaders focus on positive relationships in addition to profits, they end up with an abundance of both.
