Five ways of being - Conclusion
I spent the previous five days walking you through James Autry's 'Five Ways of Being' from his book The Servant Leader. I hope you have found the posts helpful. You can find them all here:
Be Authentic
Be Vulnerable
Be Accepting
Be Present
Be Useful
As I conclude, I'd like to leave you with a few more words from Autry - his list of six things he believes about leadership:
1) Leadership is not about controlling people; it's about caring for people and being a useful resource for people.
2) Leadership is not about being boss; it's about being present for people and building a community at work.
3) Leadership is not about holding on to territory; it's about letting go of ego, bringing your spirit to work, being your best and most authentic self.
4) Leadership is less concerned with pep talks and more concerned with creating a place in which people can do good work, can find meaning in their work, and can bring their spirits to work.
5) Leadership, like life, is largely a matter of paying attention.
6) Leadership requires love.
