Servant leadership is a philosophy that emphasizes the leader's role as a caretaker who seeks to serve others first. In this approach, your primary goal is to enhance the growth and well-being of individuals and the communities to which they belong. By prioritizing the needs of your team, you can inspire and motivate them through your creativity as a servant leader. This leadership style is not about wielding power, but about empowering those around you to achieve their full potential. It's a powerful way to foster a collaborative and innovative environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.

1 Lead by Example

To inspire and motivate others as a servant leader, start by setting a strong example. Your actions speak louder than words, so when you demonstrate creativity in problem-solving or show dedication to your team's goals, you're teaching by doing. Show enthusiasm for new ideas and be open to unconventional solutions. By being visibly committed to growth and learning, you encourage your team to be innovative and take calculated risks. Remember, your team will mirror your behavior; show them that creativity and initiative are valued and rewarded.

You cannot motivate or inspire others unless you yourself stay motivated and inspired. Some might, for some time and for short term, "fake it till they make it", however, to engender real and sustainable inspiration and motivation one must draw from the inside. In order to do that, a Servant Leader must prioritise self care. As natural empaths and givers, it is easy to be depleted of energy which effects one's disposition, which would have a knock on effect on the teams' disposition too. One of the best self care tactics is to switch off and revive oneself, by doing things that rejuvenate the mind and body. You can't pour from an empty jar - walk the talk!

2 Listen Actively

Active listening is a cornerstone of servant leadership. It involves fully concentrating, understanding, responding, and then remembering what is being said. This practice not only helps you to identify the needs and aspirations of your team but also fosters a culture of respect and collaboration. When team members feel heard, they are more likely to share creative ideas and feel motivated to contribute. Use active listening to draw out the latent creativity in your team and to show that you value their input as much as their output.

Communication includes five essential steps: thinking, speaking, listening, understanding & executing. Each step holds equal significance. A thought unspoken serves no purpose. If spoken & not heard, it is wasted. If heard but not understood, it is meaningless. And if understood & not acted upon, it is futile. A servant leader must be an effective communicator. The leader should have inclusive thoughts & ideas, express them with right words at right time, encourage attentive listening, ensure they are understood and support in its execution with all empathy and care. This is especially important in today’s world where people are disconnected with each other & more connected to the digital space. Thus effective communication is crucial.

If you ask for a certain solution, you get exactly what you ask for. But if you involve people fully in understanding the problem, they are capable of getting to more creative and effective solutions than you could ever come up with. If a company hires people for their skills and knowledge, listening to these people will invite them to utilize those skills in a way that they know best.

3 Empower Others

Empowerment is key in servant leadership. Give your team the autonomy to make decisions and the resources they need to execute their creative ideas. When individuals feel empowered, they are more motivated to take ownership of their work and go the extra mile. Trust is fundamental here; show trust in your team's abilities and judgment, and they will feel more confident in their creative pursuits. Empowerment also involves providing opportunities for professional growth, which can further inspire innovative thinking.

4 Nurture Growth

As a servant leader, nurturing the personal and professional growth of your team members should be a priority. Offer mentorship, training, and development opportunities that allow individuals to hone their skills and explore new areas of creativity. When people feel supported in their growth, they are more likely to take creative risks and push beyond their comfort zones. Celebrate their successes and provide constructive feedback to foster a learning environment where motivation thrives.

5 Encourage Collaboration

Fostering a collaborative environment is essential for servant leadership creativity. Encourage your team to work together, share ideas, and build on each other's strengths. Collaboration leads to a synergy that can result in more innovative solutions than any individual working alone could achieve. Create opportunities for cross-functional teamwork and brainstorming sessions where everyone feels comfortable contributing. A collaborative culture not only motivates but also harnesses the collective creativity of the group.

6 Reflect on Impact

Finally, encourage reflection on the impact of creative efforts. Servant leaders should facilitate discussions that analyze the outcomes of projects and initiatives. This reflection helps the team understand the value of their creative contributions and how they align with the organization's goals. Recognizing the impact of their work motivates individuals to continue thinking creatively and striving for excellence. Reflective practice also allows for continuous improvement, ensuring that creativity remains a driving force in your leadership approach.

No matter how empathetic and motivational you are, sometimes you must accept that certain individuals cannot be elevated from an uninspired/ demotivated state - not because they are "slackers" or "bad" employees; its often because they have outgrown the role or the work place culture and are ready to move on, but are scared or under-confident to do so. It is a disservice to them to "forcefully" motivate them, because people change, priorities change, so do aspirations. As a servant leader it's best to find a better-aligned role within, or ease them out amicably so they thrive in a more conducive role; you shift roles from being the protective Mamma Bird to the slightly adventurous one who kicks the chick off the nest, so it can fly!
