In this podcast, Michelle shares the connection between servant Leadership & authenticity.
Authenticity is the alignment between one’s values, words, and actions. When combined with servant leadership, it:
- Builds Credibility – Employees trust leaders who are genuine.
- Encourages Vulnerability – Admitting mistakes fosters psychological safety.
- Strengthens Culture – Authentic servant leaders model ethical behavior.
How They Work Together
- A leader openly shares challenges and seeks team input (authenticity + listening).
- They admit when they don’t have answers but commit to finding solutions (humility + healing).
- Their actions consistently reflect their words (integrity + stewardship).
