1.     Putting service before self interest 

2.     Listen first to affirm others 

3.     Inspire trust by being trustworthy

4.     Nourish others and help them become whole

These steps will be in an instrumental part of my growth to become a servant leader because it will teach me about putting others first which is a very hard thing for me to do because I am so used to only thinking about my interests, listening to what others have to say without judgment or harsh criticisms, building trust with people by being honest and focusing on the well being of others and helping people to become their best selves. 

2. Mentorship
As a leader I think that it is important for you to mentor people and have mentors as well. Since I am not yet a servant leader, I think for me to become one I will have to surround myself with people who are servant leaders. I will achieve this by going to workshops or getting into a mentorship programs that will boost my confidence as well as create great partnerships. I will also read books about servant leaders and have role models like Martin Luther king and Michelle Obama who in my opinion are great servant leaders. Once I have learnt about being a good servant leader I would be able to mentor others and give them the guidance on how to become a servant leader themselves.

 
2. Build my Relationship management skills

As a leader I want to be able to build positive relationships with the people I work with. I will build relationships with people by being open with them, having an inviting presence and being free with the people I work with. I want to earn the respect of my team and I can only do that by being honest and trying to create a bond with them.. According to Daft (2018) leaders use their understand of emotions to change and lead people to do better, build teamwork and resolve conflicts that may arise. (p. 151)
