Phil Jackson said, "Leadership is not about forcing your will on others. It's about mastering the art of letting go."

Great leaders believe they serve the team.

Leadership isn't about receiving, it's about giving and supporting the team.

Servant leadership is the art of letting go and realizing that the real power of leadership is empowering others, caring for others, and giving them what they need.
• It means caring.
• It means empowering others.
• It means letting go.

6 Habits to Master Servant Leadership
1. Believe in People and Their Potential: When you believe in people, you build their confidence, motivate, and inspire. See the best in others and believe in them. Have faith in their capabilities and their potential. Recognize that each individual has unique strengths and talents. Create an environment where these can be developed and utilized.

2. Let go and Empower Others: This is the art of letting go as a leader. You have to have faith and trust in your team. Empower them, love them, and care for them. You have to be smart, tough, and use good judgment. It should be easy to serve them and want to see them at their best.

3. Connect and View Other People's Perspectives: Ask people for their opinions and feedback. Be empathetic and actively listen to their point of view. This approach builds deeper connections and helps in addressing their needs effectively. This is important because it allows you to connect and build relationships with people. When you walk in their shoes, you show that you care.

4. Add Value to Others: It’s easy to just sit back and wait around, but you need to take action. Add value and serve people means taking action. You need to help people get to where they need to be. Focus on what you can do for your team rather than what they can do for you. Your greatest achievement is helping others succeed.

5. Measure Success by the Team's Success, Not Your Own: It isn't about what you can accomplish, but asking what can we accomplish together. Ask yourself what can we build together that is special and can last? The goal should be to make it bigger than just the bottom line, whether that is winning games or making money. Your collective success is the true reflection of effective leadership.

6. Earn Respect Through Your Actions: It shouldn't just be about yourself, but it should be about the team. Demonstrate your commitment through your actions. You should have a great attitude, be collaborative, and work together. If you can help each other accomplish what you need then you have a chance to be great.

A great message.

You cannot skip the struggle.

You cannot skip adversity.

It is part of the process.

Trust the process.
