Insightful conversation, Mike.

The challenge can be when leaders think they are servant leaders, but act as practitioners. In their mind, they are enabling others, but their actions fall into the other category. As you state, time is the ultimate test. However, there needs to be time tests that occur earlier rather than later in order to ensure leaders are on the right path. It is a reality test to shake their mindset and wake-up to which path they are really on. After all, it is a matter of organizational survival, which ultimately impacts people.

Being in a servant leader organization is much more rewarding for all involved.

Thanks!
