What is Selfless Leadership?

Great leadership is not selfish or self-centered!

Great leadership is really not about the leader at all: It’s not about his or her recognition, promotion, or preeminence. Great leadership — wherever it occurs — is about service to a worthy cause.

Great leaders are selfless! They understand that the power that they have is not about them. Their power exists to ensure the benefit of the people who follow their lead. Click To Tweet

Great leaders are selfless

They are servant leaders who facilitate the success of others. They spark action in others by seeing the value of others and aligning that value with a worthy cause. In the presence of great leadership, people feel inspired not only in the worthiness of the cause but in their own personal worth.

Great leadership makes others feel valued!

Great leadership is not about the leader at all. Great leadership is about inspiring others to work with you on a worthy cause. Click To Tweet
