If you lead a group, team, family, or set of friends in any way, I’m sure you’d like to be able to boost morale, increase engagement, decrease turn over, and improve creativity.  Well, one scientifically backed way to do that is to become a “servant leader.”  Multiple studies show substantial improvements for groups who are directed by servant leaders; and data also suggests that it improves the joy of the leaders themselves.  Our expert guest for this topic is Heidi Dieter, Chair of the Department of Research Administration at Mayo Clinic.


 


The three big questions we are going to work through are: 


1. What is servant leadership and what are the benefits?


2. Why do we struggle to put servant principles into practice and what common traps derail us?


3. What practices can we adopt to lead through service and unlock peak performance?
