Servant Management

I believe in the school of "servant management."  It is a reverse paradigm of "boss management." Boss management also referred as "BM" is when the boss is king and employees do whatever the boss decrees.  This is the typical management style.  Herd those employees, whip them into shape, model them into what you envision your subordinates should look, act, and sound like because after all they work "for" the boss.

Servant management is where the team leader's role is to provide his/her staff with the tools, time, encouragement, and responsibility to perform at their highest capability.   You are not the boss, but the leader of the team. Your team will work hard to please you because you have treated them with dignity, honor, respect, and autonomy. If your business wants to "do more with less" this is one approach.  Do you need some coaching, just call or text me 904.219.7777. - Clark
