Let's back up the bus on servant leadership in A/E/C.
Being of service and positively impacting communities is a noble pursuit .
The buzz around this phrase, though, weakens the intent.
??Servant leadership isn't exclusive to your broader community.
It also applies to internal teams within A/E/C firms.??
Are leaders genuinely addressing the real challenges and deeper problems your staff may not openly share?
Servant leadership starts at home.
??It may include coaching or training for YOU to improve your skills and lead by example.
??Internal servant leadership can be sharing your wisdom , screw-ups, and experiences with your team.
??It may involve implementing programs that help staff prioritize and reduce burnout.
The productivity piece gets woven in; don't worry :)
Exceptional servant leadership can only happen when firms have a solid internal foundation.
Once that's in place, go into the community and make a freakin' impact!
