The term Servant Leader is credited to Robert K. Greenleaf in The Servant as Leader, an essay that he first published in 1970. …”It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.”
Servant Leadership should be approached in that very order. Servant first, Leader second. In every situation start with how can I help and serve the situation. By asking the opnion of those in your team first you help to get a better understanding of the situation and foster team ownership.
This leadership style requires Chapter Leads to demonstrate characteristics such as empathy, listening, stewardship. Your leadership and guidance should focus on others developing ideas for themselves and growing their craft within the chapter.
The following topics all sit broadly under the umbrella of these characteristcs and how a Chapter Lead can better help their chapter. Ultimately these are all about empowering teams. They are not in any order of importance and there is of course, plenty of cross over between these topics and those found on the other pages of this site, they shouldn’t be viewed in isolation. If there are other topics that aren’t covered please don’t hesitate to get in touch so I can build out those too.
