We preserve listening to about servant management however what’s it and the way do you follow it? In my earlier guide, The Future Chief, I spoke with 140 CEOs to get extra readability on this.
The idea of servant management was first coined by Robert Okay. Greenleaf in his 1970 essay, “The Servant as Chief.” Greenleaf was a former AT&T govt and he proposed a radical shift in management philosophy, suggesting that leaders must be servants first, placing the wants of their group and group earlier than their very own.
A easy method to think about that is inverting the company pyramid. As a substitute of the group propping up and serving the chief, the chief is the one who’s now propping up and serving the group.
What I discovered is that servant management is just part of the equation and actually what these CEOs had been speaking about was having a servant mindset which suggests understanding that as a frontrunner there are 4 teams you serve.
- Your leaders if in case you have them
- Your clients
- Your group
- Your self
Let’s check out these in additional depth and go over issues you are able to do to serve every group.
