SERVE OR BE SERVED

Look Inside to Begin Your Leadership Journey
Best-selling business author Ken Blanchard believes leadership is an inside-out proposition.

"Leadership is a transformational journey that starts with self leadership. It begins by asking yourself a tough question: 'Am I here to serve, or be served?'" According to Blanchard, your answer to this question will reflect a fundamental difference in the way you approach leadership.

If you believe leadership is all about you, where you want to go, and what you want to attain, then your leadership by default will be more self-focused and self-centered.

On the other hand, if your leadership revolves around meeting the needs of the organization and the people working for it, you will make different choices that will reveal a more "others-focused" approach.

These two diverse leadership methods will yield very different results in terms of what employees experience.
