In order to be a good leader, you need to be a whole leader:

-It is about strategy, empathy and risk

-secession planning -> Who steps up, when you can’t anymore. Sharing your knowledge

-Considers himself a servant leader. He wouldn’t delegate something he wouldn’t do himself

-Servant leader and invisible leader. Put your ego aside and do it from a space of love

A leader is a person or animal that holds a dominant or superior position, and is able to exercise a high degree of control or influence over others

Yes, there are boundaries. Just because you’re a servant leader, doesn’t mean you don’t have boundaries so people don’t abuse your kindness. You often need to switch, change and assess what needs to be done in certain circumstances.

No. It is impossible to always be in servant leadership
