In my experience Servant Leadership is the best and most effective way to lead. From witnessing impactful leaders during my college baseball career to witnessing leaders in the career world, the most impactful leaders have embodied servant leadership. In order to be a great servant leadership there are 3 key components:

1.  Sacrifice- this is absolutely crucial to servant leadership. Sacrifice grows your discipline and develops your character. Additionally sacrifice earns you trust and respect of those around you.

2.  Vulnerability- as you go first in being vulnerable, your relationship grows, deep relational connections form and influence grows. People will be impressed with what you know but will connect with you on your weaknesses.

3.  Lead by example- You can’t lead people places you aren’t willing to go yourself. If you tell people how to do something but never show them your influence is capped and respect is not easily gained!
