This document outlines principles for servant leadership. It discusses leading with humility by seeing the future, engaging and developing others through training and coaching, continuously reinventing through innovation and change, valuing both results and relationships, embodying principles through leading by example, and learning from everyone. It also describes situational leadership, adapting styles based on follower competence and commitment, from directive to supportive. Leaders should create a positive vision, keep developing others, innovate incrementally, build relationships, set an example, and never think they are the smartest in the room.
