What is it?

Traditional leadership says the team serves the boss. Servant Leadership says the boss serves the team. Your job isn't to do the work; it's to remove the obstacles preventing your team from doing the best work of their lives.

Why is it important?

If your team spends 30% of their time fighting with slow software, waiting for your approval, or dealing with unclear instructions, you are wasting money. A Servant Leader asks: \"What is slowing you down?\" and then fixes it.

The Magic Question:

In every 1-on-1 meeting, ask this: \"What is one thing I can do this week to make your job easier?\"

• They say: \"I waste 2 hours a week manually exporting orders.\"
• You do: Buy an automation app for $10/mo.
• Result: You just bought 8 hours of productivity for $10.
