What Makes A Good Leader? Servant Leadership

The phrase "servant leadership" is sometimes considered a cheesy, ubiquitous quality that many leaders like to use to describe themselves. However, being a true servant leader is tough work. A few ways you can be a servant leader on your team is to get your "hands dirty" -- understand what your team members are dealing with by going to meetings with them, helping them strategize or troubleshoot a situation, or do some of the work yourself if you haven't held their job before. ⁠
⁠
One way to show servant leadership is to walk around the office and get to know people on your team and in other departments. This is especially vital if you're a high-level leader, such as in the C-suite. These walkarounds are actually enjoyable to most employees, especially when you're just looking to say hi and chat a little; not check in on what they're working on currently.⁠
