If I didn't read this i wouldn't know about the roles and characteristics of servant leaders. I saved and archived this post Just maybe if I see myself in that position in the near future. Thank you 🤝
Enjoy. I've more than 200 of these circulating the internet. A Book on 70 and about 30 so far that at deep dive articles published here on Substack. Use what you need. ✅
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to learn from you. I wrote in my latest post about starting and learning from mistakes or from people who already passed the challenges.
Chris, you have successfully debugged the signaling error inherent in "Servant Leadership."
For a decade, the market has misread this concept as a fragility vector, ethical overhead that pragmatic operators view as softness. By re-indexing the concept against Maslow and defining it as an Operating System, you have stripped away the idealism.
The signal is now pure leverage: You cannot scale an organization if you remain the single point of failure.
The logic is irrefutable, which isolates the remaining friction: Ego. The barrier isn't intellectual anymore; it is biochemical. The question for the founder is no longer about efficiency, but about identity. Are you actually prepared to decentralized command? Or are you, covertly, addicted to the dopamine of being the bottleneck?

I hate being the bottleneck - sounds and feels awful 🥴 align and unleash the talent thru delegated authority and empowerment 🤝
Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom ✅ much appreciated
