Pure servant leaders work in the shadows and serve as the umbrella to their teams, shielding them from the harshness that comes along. We hang back and watch our teams shine and the unfortunate part is unless you’re looking for us you rarely see us. The fortunate part is you’ll never forget us either ! Thanks for coming To my TED talk #bloomwhereyoureplanted #servantleader #youaredismissed #noroomhere #humble #helpful

You absolutely cannot control what other people think of you, but you can control your actions and being consistent in leadership is huge. Be flexible in the sense you can fix what isn’t working, but you cannot bend to everything out there that is working either. Thanks for sharing!

Thank to for this perspective this is why I really like this platform. I’ve been reminded several different times of varying perspectives from where the author sits in the crowd.

Wow, this is really powerful and was just what I needed to read today. I definitely agree that it is lonely at the top and we take a lot of heat that nobody even knows about. Thank you for sharing this OP.

I seriously have no idea what came over me to post this . This is how I feel on the daily but keep it to myself and today I guess was the day! I’m so happy I decided to share

BOOM! This reminds me of the first leadership class I received in the military and the two lines written in bold type on the blackboard. NO BAD TEAMS, ONLY BAD LEADERS! ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOUR PEOPLE!

Man oh man does that resonate with me , I am who I am in spite of all the terrible leaders I had, and I can’t even be mad at the bad ones since most companies do a horrible job teaching leadership, most people find out what to do by doing what they shouldn’t have at the expense of an unsuspecting team member. Character hires are imperative and the only path forward if you ask me.. you have to be liked by your team and those you influence, yeah I know that’s not popular and will trigger just about anyone that’s been taught old school. But if no one likes you then good luck getting anyone to get in your boat with you let alone row it!!! Being like also doesn’t mean you’re a wimp or a softy or let people run you over, I learned by being clear with what is needed, being clear on why it’s needed, being clear on the path to get there being clear on the level to which success is measured and consistent with every single person!! You can have fun, smile, joke and win!!! Clear and consistent !

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?
