THE ABCs OF SERVANT LEADER

In preparation for an upcoming leaders’ meeting, I have compiled a poem on the topic.  Here it is:

THE ABCs of SERVANT LEADER

The ideal good leader

Is never a browbeater

But who empowers, encourages

Sees that everything flourishes

Such a person is observant

Having the virtues of a servant

I have my personal quality list

Hoping there’s nothing missed

Here is my list – the ABCs

In groups of triple threes

Let us analyze them

Each I see as a gem

A servant leader is ACCESSIBLE

Being present and available

Also being very ACCOUNTABLE

And accepts being putdownable

Such a soul is very ACTIVE

And hence, is so attractive

Not lazy, but very busy

And never has a tizzy

From section B, one is BENEVOLENT

Generous and giving is most evident

One should be like a BODYGUARD

And protect like some diehard

One should be a team BUILDER

And go for numbers that bewilder

For growth, expansion that’s measurable

Bring to the heart what’s pleasurable

From section C, one is a COMMANDER

Decisions – assertive, do not meander

The ability to be a COMMUNICATOR

To listening and empathy we cater

Finally, it is essential to be CREATIVE

Dream and be very innovative

Visionaries create a path for all

Do something great and not small
