Feature: Service Mindset Leadership

By Edwin M Valladares, MS, RPSGT

It has been said that the heart is deceitful, so knowing our motive for being in a leadership position can be cloudy to ourselves. But our motives are analogous to body language. We may not be speaking with words, but we are always speaking with our body. Similarly, our true motive will always give us away as to why we are doing what we are doing. An important question for leaders is to ask why we want to be a leader. We may want to lead so we can make more money, to have prestige or to make change. But in the end to be a good leader our priority must be to serve the mission of the organization and the team members under your care.
