Episode 66 Defining Meekness with Joshua K. McMillion
Meekness in leadership is founded on the MEEK technique, which stands for Meekness is Not Weakness, Engaged Listening, Evaluating the Moment, and Keep a Servant Heart. It signifies humility, understanding, gratitude, and a servant's heart. Leading with meekness means leading with love, and this concept is about building a strong foundation or a metaphorical "House of Leadership" To begin with, the podcast explored the concept of building a "house of leadership"βA strong foundation is crucial in building this house, and meekness forms the bedrock of this foundation. Meekness is not about being submissive but about leading with humility, understanding, gratitude, and a servant's heart.
Actively listening and creating a protective shield for your team from outside dangers is a crucial part of meek leadership. It's not about protecting them from everything but about creating a conducive environment for growth, communication, and candor within the organization. Active listening is crucial to understanding and implementing others' ideas. Evaluating situations before making decisions is equally important.
Having a servant heart is vital for leaders to understand that their success is tied to the success of their organization. Leaders need to lead with action and follow through with their words, as deeds speak louder than words.
Finally, we discussed the benefits of having a leadership coach and the importance of having a clear vision and setting goals. Communication and empathy play a crucial role in effective leadership.
Overall, leading with meekness can be challenging, but it builds a strong and lasting legacy for the organization. The journey may be tough, but the rewards are worthwhile. As a leader, every day is an opportunity to make a positive difference. The key is to embrace the power of humility in leadership and to remember that strength lies in meekness.
To summarize, meekness in leadership is about humility, understanding, gratitude, and having a servant's heart. It is about listening, evaluating, and remembering WHY we choose to lead. It is about building a strong foundation for your leadership philosophy. Meekness in leadership is about love, and it is this love that makes all the difference.
