“Becoming a trusted servant leader is a journey,” says Randy Conley, coauthor with Ken Blanchard of the new book, Simple Truths of Leadership Playbook. “It's something we're always working on. No matter how far along we are on that path, there's always room for improvement.”
“Leaders looking to start that journey need to put their ego aside,” says Blanchard. “Changing your behavior can mean going to your people and saying, ‘I need your help. My goal is to be a servant leader. I think I’m almost there, but there are a few areas I could use help with.’
“It’s common sense, but not common practice,” says Blanchard. “Good leaders know what to do—they just need some help putting the concepts into practice.”
