7 Things Servant Leaders Do Differently

 

1. Has high expectations for themselves AND others. People are always looking to do things that can help them get ahead, but that is never the goal for this kind of leader. They succeed because they have high expectations for themselves and those around them. They want everyone the work with to give all they’ve got. They know that once that happens, the success will follow.
2. Take the time to get to know those around them. It’s hard to work well with people if you don’t even know the first thing about them. Servant leaders strive to understand people. They aspire to know others’ strengths, weaknesses and motivations – once they know this, they can better help the team find success.
3. Live each day like a “first date”. It’s easy to fall into the habit of just going through the motions and living life day to day as it is. But people who are really great leaders don’t let that happen. They wake up each morning as if they are about to go on a first date. They’re excited, positive, and ready to make an impact on those around them. With this kind of attitude, they’re unstoppable.
4. Motivate those around them. Servant leaders aren’t just self-motivated, they are constantly motivating others. They are always encouraging those around them to do their best and to keep pushing forward and to create the best thing they can. They do not just blindly motivate either, they take the time to find out people’s purpose, or what really empowers them. Then they take that passion use it to motivate & inspire those around them.
5. Always moving forward. Servant leaders see perfect as a process. They always know there is room for improvement and instill this frame of mind into their team.
6. Lead by example. Servant leaders don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. They would never expect someone else to do something they wouldn’t do themselves, that would be outrageous. For them, it is an understanding that anything they want their team to do is something they embody as well.
7. Their “why” trumps their “what”. Really servant-focused leaders not only know what they’re doing, but why they’re doing it. Their goals and passion stem from their why and that is what keeps them motivated and constantly looking to improve themselves and others.

What’s your SPACE JAM!

In this video the Kid President shares with you his vision for a better world. He wants YOU and he wants ME on the same team. He wants us to lift each to lift each other up in the bad times so we can all reach our full potential. Kid President believes we all have the potential to create something in the world that will have a positive effect on others. He calls this creation your Space Jam, after the great contribution of Michael Jordan. This Space Jam represents your Purpose in life, and Kid President wants you to find it, and more importantly share it with others. In this video he gives Encouragement to you and the rest of the viewing public. He wants you to believe in your ability to make the world dance! We can see that he really tries to motivate others, for example he dedicates the “Pep Talk” to his sick friend Gabbi! Part of being able to motivate others is motivating yourself, and being willing to go the extra mile to achieve Mastery. Kid President probably took hundreds of takes to make sure his Pep Talk was just right. In fact, he probably was willing to go to an outside source to perfect his message. This video shows that even as a young person with limited experience we can still achieve a place of leadership, but we may have to serve first.
