I just came across this site when I was checking my name on line. When I was a supervisor I would visit my employees and their families if they where in the hospital. I have tied the work boots every morning of one of my employees with arthritis.
Being a servant leader can be hard to learn. You have to live it. I have a great story to tell about servant leadership. Contact me please. I am the Airport coordinator at the Payson Airport. I was a Supervisor for Orange County Parks and a Plant Engineer for General Motors. See how I take being human home after work by looking up Dueker Ranch. I would love to co author a book on Servant Leadership. I developed a step by step plan that changed the culture at a General Motors facility with 1,400 employees. Any company can change their culture to one of servant leadership if they know how. It’s good to be human.

This, to me, is always undervalued. If that list of 15 are the commandments, then the Golden Rule is simply “Care” – if you do that, a lot of the other stuff tends to fall into place. If you don’t truly care about the individuals – guess what – management is not your gig 🙂

Ah – yes, say thank you. Show people that you appreciate them. I think the thing about staff;s hobbies would fall under be interested and curious.
My favorite quote (that has kept me going all of these years) is Winston Churchill’s “Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm”. Thanks so much for adding your thoughts.

I agree. And, I think these can be confusing for some. It was my thought that the combination of the other things would add up to the being human part.

YES!!!! I knew I was missing something critical! Thank you!
