Is Your Leadership Serving Others… or Just Yourself? – Guest Post For “Wake Up and Shake It Up” Leadership Series

As a leader, do you think your role requires you to serve others or for others to serve you? This question serves as the basis for a guest post I co-wrote with S. Max Brown for the leadership blog series “Wake Up and Shake It Up” being run by Shawn Murphy over at Achieved Strategies.
The month-long series focuses on sharing insights and inspiration to encourage leaders to work with their employees in creating a more engaging, empowering, and consequently more productive workplace. The series features a number of authors and experts in leadership and personal development, including Lolly Daskal, David Burkus, Monica Diaz, and Mike Henry, Sr. to name just a few of the series’ contributors.
I would like to thank Shawn for inviting me to participate in his leadership blog series, which I’m told will also be offered as an e-Book for readers to download. I invite you to check out this piece co-written by Max and myself, which looks at how leaders can inadvertently shift their focus to a self-serving one and what they can do to refocus the lens of their leadership back onto their team. And while you’re there, be sure check out what the other series’ contributors have to say about changing the way we approach leadership.
