Creating a Culture of Excellence—The Power of Servant Leadership
Speaker
According to a recent worldwide executive survey by Deloitte, top leaders say culture is the most important issue they face. Generally defined, culture is “The way we do things here,” which includes organizational values, beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral habits.
In an ever-increasing commoditized business environment, your organization’s products, services, technologies, and even key people can be copied, pirated, or recruited. The only thing your competition cannot “steal” from you is your culture, your ability to “delight your stakeholders” and to deliver your products and services with excellence! Consequently, the excellent organizations understand this truth: Your greatest competitive advantage lies in your people and your culture.
Of course, it is impossible to create a culture of excellence without great leadership, because a team rarely rises above the level of its leadership team. This is where Servant Leadership comes in.
Servant Leadership is a values- and relational-based approach to leadership that includes identifying and meeting the legitimate needs (as opposed to wants) of those entrusted to the care of the leader. Through the systematic process of building relationships and trust, servant leaders gain influence and inspire their people to give their best, including discretionary effort, thereby creating excellence.
Servant Leadership is currently practiced in many of America’s most admired and successful organizations including Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, AFLAC, Nestlé, Marriott, and the United States Air Force. Over one-third of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for” and many of Fortune magazine’s “America’s Most Admired Companies” actively practice the disciplines of Servant Leadership.
