Most leaders feel called to leadership because they want to serve.
And there are two warped ideas about what service means that I have seen adopted, then weaponized against leaders themselves, the teams they work with, and the companies they work within.
Those two ideas are that service is the same thing as pleasing. And that service is the same thing as sacrifice.
Any trace of these two things in your service definition is dangerous.
Today on the podcast, we’re talking about why this is, and what to do about it.
