Motivation for Leading

How is this awareness important and relevant to taking on a leadership role? Mindful leadership is about asking ourselves what the real motivation is for taking a particular role or performing a specific action. What is the motivation for taking up a leadership position? Do we want to serve others, or are we more interested in being served? Is it attractive to be in control of everyone, or are we interested in helping others grow and thrive? When we walk into a room, do we spread inspiration or instill fear?

Too often, people will go into a leadership role for the wrong reasons, such as money, power, fame, and the ability to control people and resources. When this happens, the spirit of servant‐leadership is forgotten. Self‐aggrandizement then becomes the prominent goal while the interest of the organization and the workforce become secondary. If we're chasing fame and glory, only looking out for ourselves, this behavior creates a toxic “every man for himself” atmosphere that will not be sustainable. Leadership can bring about several perks, but they are meant to be utilized in the service of others. Mindful leadership is regularly asking ourselves what we need to do to become better individuals and leaders at work, at home, and in our communities.
