Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
When Brian was appointed to a new management role at work, he applied his customary leadership approach to the new organization.
However, he quickly received feedback that the new team didn’t know how to take him. His casual and sometimes sarcastic approach was such a departure from previous managers that employees hesitated to follow his lead.
Paul told the Corinthians that he adapted to serve them, concluding with 1 Corinthians 9:22: “To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.”
Servant leadership means focusing our leadership to bring out the best of the people we are privileged to lead, not just applying what we have always done and hoping it gets the same results.
