5. What servant leadership is NOT.
“I am the officer in charge, my job isn’t to go work. My job is to sit in this chair and monitor your work.”
-A quote I heard spoken at a TX WG Encampment

6. “Wait…I thought I was in charge....”
A true leader can serve his/her followers without completely neglecting themselves and losing command in the process.
There is a vast difference between being “servile,” and being a “servant.”
Servant leaders are not forced to help those below or above them, they choose to.

7. Humility is the key.
Humility will give you the ability to accomplish things for others that may seem detrimental to you.
As a leader you will sometimes have to humble yourself and take a fall for the sake of your follower’s success.
No barrier to successful leadership is less conquerable or more troublesome then the downfall of pride.
Pride makes it impossible for the leader to put his people before himself.

8. Why Servant Leadership is so important.
It creates an atmosphere of good moral character.
It sets an outstanding example, creating more inspirational and successful leaders.
No one wants to work for a selfish boss. If they do work for them, it is out of fear.
Servant Leadership inspires your followers to want to work harder and succeed because of what you have done for them. They work hard because they want to, not because they are forced to.
