The Most Powerful Question Every Leader Should Be Asking

Hello everyone! Thanks for joining us here in the Business Discussion space of the Community. Many of you here are likely in a leadership role in your business. Today I'm relaying to you an article from inc.com that's helpful to all leaders.

We all know leadership is defined as the action of leading a group of people or an organization, but what really defines a leader? That's one powerful question, but the article has one more for those in charge to ask themselves: How will I be remembered by my peers, colleagues, and employees?

The writer goes on to discuss one way to get a positive answer to that questions is servant leadership. They also state that the ability to achieve this leadership style is open and available to anyone willing to give it a try. "When you arrive at the moment where your servant leadership is crystalized, people will respond with uncommon loyalty and commitment. From a purely business standpoint, this means higher performance and employee engagement."

The bottom line is, "If you want to watch your own leadership growth and likability skyrocket, do the courageous act of placing others in the position to be and do their very best."

Definitely an eye-opening question that makes you think! What are some changes you've made to up your leadership game? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below!
