The softer side of leadership

What is being expected from servant leaders? They are expected to bring a message of hope to those in need, to uplift the despondent, set the captives free and spread a message of hope and freedom. But for what purpose?

The purpose of servant leadership is to:

• inspire people to be empowered to complete instructions,
• uplift those who need it with messages of hope and inspiration,
• uplift those who are down and out,
• release those who are stuck in victim mentality,
• keep people accountable for their actions,
• give people a purpose to strive to,
• remind those who follow them to keep their eyes on the greater picture, and to
• be the example that their followers can strive to be when things get tough.
