How can you address privilege when practicing servant leadership?
Servant leadership is a style of leadership that focuses on empowering and serving others, rather than exercising authority or control. It is based on the idea that leaders should be humble, compassionate, and attentive to the needs and interests of their followers. However, practicing servant leadership also requires being aware of and addressing privilege, which is the advantage or benefit that some groups or individuals have over others based on their social identity, such as race, gender, class, or ability. Privilege can create blind spots, biases, and barriers that prevent servant leaders from being truly inclusive, respectful, and effective. In this article, we will explore how you can address privilege when practicing servant leadership in four steps.
