Summary
Whether due to fear, guilt, or naivety, business leaders have been beaten into the subservient role of "Servant Leader." Leading requires resilience in any context, but our cultural temperament of anxious envy suffocates leadership. Specifically in our context of not just disproportionate employee rights and entitlements, but a culture of empathy and feels, leaders have practically become followers. Presenting the aim for the leader's role as serving his employees is a wrongheaded approach to leadership because it doesn't drive people forward. It hinders the objective of the business, because it puts the focus on the employee instead of the customer. And it hurts the employee, because inviting them to live for themselves is a sad end. Purpose and joy is found in something bigger. The business leader should be rousing employees by raising their vision.

| 0:38.1 | And there's a lot of not just noise, but upside down leadership that if applied will hurt not just the objective, but the people whom are being led. Context matters, |
| 0:43.7 | of course. Leadership has some different application in different institutions. Government, church, |
| 0:48.4 | non-profits, and business all demands leadership. And it might look different. However, |
| 0:52.4 | the general principles are the same. |
| 0:54.8 | And because this is Business 300, my application will be specific to, well, business. |
| 0:59.9 | Whether due to fear, guilt, or naivety, business leaders have been beaten into the subservient |

| 1:13.4 | Specifically in our context of not just disproportionate employee rights and entitlement, |
