Amazon Best Selling Business Book

What kind of leader do we want to be? What’s the most effective style of leadership? How can we bring our authentic selves into our workplaces to build trust and empower our teams?
 
Over a storied thirty-eight-year career in leadership positions and as a credentialed life coach, Mike Barnes has always been in the pursuit of continuous improvement at being an authentic servant leader. By striving to always learn, show the courage to be vulnerable, and to serve those around him with mindfulness and intentionality, his goal was to consistently build trust and empower the teams he served to achieve more than they ever thought was possible.
 
Hardwiring your beliefs to your heart and then expressing them through careful actions in the workplace is the key, treating your peers and subordinates as people first and coworkers second.

The Commitment To Being Real, Genuine And Caring

Robert Greenleaf, the founder of the servant leadership movement, describes servant leaders as individuals with the natural inclination to serve. Such people make a conscious choice to lead to serve rather than to gain power or acquire material possessions. They work to serve their organizations and teams through characteristics such as listening, empathy, building relationships, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, commitment to individual development and building a community.
