The Servant Mindset Is Not Servant Leadership. Here's Why
The servant mindset is one of the four most crucial mindsets that current and aspiring leaders need to master. It's all about serving four groups: Your leaders - serving your leaders means having a good relationship with them. Do whatever you can to make their lives easier. Your customers - it's about making life a little bit harder on yourself so that it's easier on your customers. Go above and beyond to surprise and delight your customers so they would love to come back and even become your own brand evangelists Your team - whether it's recognizing them, whether it's removing obstacles from their path, whatever it is, ask yourself, what can you do on an ongoing basis to help make those around you more successful, even if they become more successful than you. Yourself - this is what most of us forget about. Practicing self-care will enable you to show up to work every day, at your best, ready to serve others. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta.

Is Remote Work Just About Getting Things Done?
The pandemic has forced a lot of organizations to shift into remote work. Some people were skeptical about it, but there’s no doubt remote work allowed things to still get done. Microsoft recently did a study on 61,000 of their employees. They found that during the pandemic, employees were still able to get things done and be productive. However, long-term creativity actually went down. So the question is, do we just want to get things done? Or do we want more? This is why in-person work still has a place in our society. That is where a lot of great leadership comes from. That's where psychological safety comes from. That's where training and development and growth comes from. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta. Workplace is a business communication tool from Meta.

Stop Asking For Permission, Try Doing This Instead!
Asking for forgiveness is better than asking for permission. If you ask for forgiveness, it means you’re proactively trying new things and can get things done quicker. If you do things right, you probably won’t have to ask for forgiveness that often. Instead of waiting for people’s decisions and asking for permission, take initiative and just ask for forgiveness. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta.
