Greetings,
I often talk about both
personal leadership and
servant leadership. But it is a mistake to assume these qualities are all about the business world.
A number of years ago I provided a keynote address on the topic of servant-leadership to a group of engineers. When I was done, a man in his 40s approached me with his hand extended to shake my hand. He said, “If I had only known about these principles, it would not only have changed how I manage others, but how I live my life! I would have been a better husband, father, and son. I would have handled problems differently and not with an overbearing approach.”
I responded that once you realize that being a “servant” is the core to genuine leadership, it changes how you view life and the value of other people.
The lesson here is that these principles are not only for business relationships. Leadership development is about the transformation of the
total person, not just the superficial addition of a few new ideas, concepts, or theories.
If you would like to learn more about the difference that
personal leadership can make in both your business career and your life, contact me at gthomas@leadingtoday.org or visit our YouTube channel here. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to contact me at gthomas@leadingtoday.org or (330) 722-8764 for a free consultation.
