Learn how to instill servant leadership practices into your work.

Overview

As a result of COVID-19 and the racial injustices that have permeated 2020, it’s more important than ever to lead with humanity and create a work environment where people feel recognized and heard. Current challenges require leaders to be visionary, but they must also be humble and know how to bring out the best in others. The servant leadership philosophy and practice strikes a balance between putting others first and addressing their highest needs, so that they can feel heard, empowered, and fulfilled. It’s about creating an environment that assumes the best intentions and demonstrates unconditional love and support. In a time when surviving the daily grind can feel daunting, a leader’s ability to allow others to thrive can be especially powerful.

Join us online and learn what it takes to lead with a servant-leader mindset. You will be introduced to three essential behaviors of a servant leader:

  • Behavior 1: Look inward, so you can be authentic and humble.
  • Behavior 2: Look at your team, so you can ensure you have the right people around the table, recognize their strengths, and empower them to do their best.
  • Behavior 3: Look to the future, so you can exercise foresight and use your team effectively to serve organizational needs.

Our expert instructor will provide simple, yet meaningful ways you can practice these behaviors in your day-to-day. You’ll walk away with tips for navigating your role as the visionary leader who also knows how to listen to and empower the voices of those you serve.
