Is Servant Leadership Just a Fancy Term for Being a Pushover? How does servant leadership hold up in tough, dog-eat-dog business environments? You know, the places where it's all about being decisive, taking charge, and sometimes stepping over others to get to the top. It might seem like being all altruistic and supportive would get you nowhere fast, right? But here's the thing: servant leadership is actually a powerhouse in these situations. Let’s cut through the fluff. Servant leadership isn't about being a pushover. It's the total opposite. It's about being strong enough to put your ego aside and prioritize your team's needs over your own. It's about having the guts to listen, empathize, and empower—things that require real courage and strength, especially in cutthroat environments. Think about it. Anyone can bark orders and demand results. It takes a real leader to roll up their sleeves, understand their team, and guide them to where they need to be. It's not about sacrificing authority; it's about redefining it. You lead by example, earn respect, and get your hands dirty with the rest of them. In those high-pressure, competitive settings, servant leadership is your secret weapon. It builds loyalty, trust, and a sense of ownership among your team. When people feel valued and understood, they'll go the extra mile, not because they're told to, but because they want to. That's how you create a team that doesn't just survive but thrives, even in the toughest environments. So, no, it's not about being soft. It's about being strategically and morally strong. It's about leading in a way that gets lasting, impactful results while also building a positive, resilient workplace culture.

#servantleadership Servant leadership is about structural alterations that empower decision-making at various levels. Structures need to be recalibrated or designed to empower employees more transparently—giving them ownership over their projects and direct input into decisions that affect their work.

Trust forms the foundation of any high-performing team. 🤝 It’s built incrementally, often through small gestures, and is rooted in the belief that something vulnerable and important to me is safe with you. That “something” could include my thoughts and ideas, my projects, my feelings, my reputation, or anything that makes me feel uncomfortable when entrusted to your decisions and actions. Building trust often involves time for people to observe consistent trustworthy behaviour. While trust can be earned over time by demonstrating reliability, consistency, competence, and handling critical information confidentially, this process is time-consuming. Most teams can't afford the luxury of dedicating extensive time to build trust before diving into collaborative work. You have to build trust on the fly, much like flying the plane while you build it. Teams are fluid. Members change over time. Ongoing projects and strategic initiatives starting, and day-to-day firefighting makes the luxury of building trust before anything else a fantasy. So, how do we build trust on the fly? In our latest blog post, Shawn Gibson P.Eng, PCC and Jenn Lofgren CPHR, MCC, ICD.D explore 6 ways to deepen trust, create an even stronger foundation, and elevate your team's performance to the next level. 🚀 #Trust #Leadership #ExecutiveLeadership #LeadershipCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipTeam
