Love and service is required in business and leadership
Every leader has to make a decision about what kind of leader you want to be (self-serving or servant)
90% of leaders are self-serving and most don’t realize it
Servant leaders achieve unprecedented business results and friendships
Self-serving leadership is the biggest blind spot in leadership
Others decide if you’re a servant leader or a self-serving leader
Ego gets in the way of servant leadership and that your ego is a cover for your insecurities
The most important quality of leadership is humility (not thinking less of yourself, but thinking about yourself less often)
Confidence plus humility always wins
Heart-led leaders know who they are (strengths and weaknesses)
Heart-led leaders seek out mentors to help you grow
The biggest conundrum in business today is vulnerability
Vulnerability in leadership is when you share your stories with others and then hear their stories
Vulnerability is one of the only leadership trait that’s contagious
Heart-led leaders build followership based upon love (over respect)
Heart-led leaders let their people know they’re human
Vulnerability is the key to building trust
