My perspective on Leadership, I think leadership develops through experience and skills which is built upon an individual’s accord. As for me, it begun with me understanding that essentially effective leadership is not just a mere positional authority but in fact, comes with it the influence and the ability to inspire loyalty and motivation with a lasting impact on individuals and the organizations I served. It requires a commitment to my own personal growth, helping develop others, above all, an unwavering dedication to bring out about the greater good of the organization and it’s purpose. This lead to the birth of my guiding principle and purpose of leadership, Servant Leadership, putting people at the heart of organization growth.
At its core, servant leadership focuses on serving others first, putting people at the center of an organization. This Leadership Model was popularized by Robert K. Greenleaf (What Is Servant Leadership? – Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, n.d.), emphasizes on empathy, collaboration and ethical use of power.
It gives me a perspective that when someone I lead is successful at what they are doing, it suggests that I have done my duty and served them well in finding eminence to the work they do. However, if that person fails, then essentially I have failed to provide that individual with the right tools, guidance and knowledge to be successful, I failed to serve them. It has become a set of principles which I follow which is intrinsically woven into my DNA where every approach I take to any situation is guided by those principles.
