Servant leaders are marked by their results, not just their relationships. A common misconception about servant leaders is that they are too nice or soft on performance, but nothing could be further from the truth. Servant leaders know that poor performance outcomes don’t serve anyone well. The price of excellence is accountability, and servant leaders accept responsibility for positive outcomes on behalf of those they lead.
Servant leaders commit to achieving high performance outcomes.
