What is a servant leader? And why should the president of a company work for everyone else?
In this episode, Jack Nehlig and Trevor Robinson go straight to the source on servant leadership, the style Jack lived out for over two decades leading Phoenix Contact USA.
Trevor shares a funny piece of history: the very first Google search he ever made on his company laptop was ”what is a servant leader,” after his manager described Jack that way on day one. Jack's confession? He would have had to Google it back then too. From there, Jack lays out the fundamentals, from the upside down org chart to the one sentence every leader should say in the mirror each morning: ”I work for you, you don't work for me.”
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why the org chart pyramid should be flipped upside down (and why the president works for everybody)
- Why the people at the bottom of the traditional org chart are literally the most important people in your company
- How to replace command and control with support and development: removing barriers, approving quickly, and developing people daily
- The morning mirror ritual that completely turns around your leadership mindset
- The three Cs of servant leadership: competence, character, and compassion
