Rock Solid Leadership - Hét evaluatiebureau voor het Bestuur en de Toezichthouders - Governance Evaluaties voor Bestuur en Toezichthouders - Executive Leadership Coaching - Public Speaking

I often speak about the importance of servantship in leadership. Last weekend I was reading a story about the approach of Nordstrom, one of the world’s most successful department stores. “The company starts all executive-track employees out on the sales floor in the shoe department. They do this because they want their executives to understand customer service. They do it because they understand that going down on your knees in front of a customer is wonderful training. It teaches even their highest-level executives that the customer is the true boss”. They show and prove that understanding and living out subservience is the key to success. Let this story be the inspiration to take along in your leadership journey. Whether you have a shoe department or not, serve your clients at your finest. “True leadership means letting people around you see your ability to be subservient”. #rocksolidleadership #servantship #leadership #executivementor
