Jim,
Once again, you inspire me with your growth mindset. Thanks for sharing this. I’m not familiar with different leadership styles so it was interesting to learn about Servant Leadership; it sounds like a style that I’d like to practice and become effective with myself. I like the Edward Deming quote and your addition, “t’s the leader’s job to figure out how to remove barriers for people and set up the right structure that inspires them to greatness.” Also, I’ve already experienced the unfortunate reality that “doing the right thing is sometimes not enough.” Luckily, I think through Initiative and probably this course, it’ll be easier to obtain and keep the allies you mentioned.
