imagine going to the jungle and you have a HUNTER to guide you along the way
or to go with a tour group with a guide who gives good advise and serves the teams along the journey .
The last is the servant leadership style . The servant leader is here to serve and lead the team into the right direction .. To do that care , (s) he is mentioning and coaching the group to achieve the target
note that to be successful , s(he) needs other characteristics of leadership as well
If I understood you right I agree that servant style of leadership can sometimes make you faster reach your goals. You serve people for the sake of survival and prosperity of your company. You see the final destination and you know that by having contact and understanding with your “elephant” you can make him go with the speed you want and the way you want. One of my friends says: “When I praise my son while he is helping me it seems he is ready to do the world for me”. As I mentioned in my post on Switch, you must sometimes make your elephant feel s(he) is the “boss” to reach your aims.
