3. ADOPT A SERVANT LEADER’S MINDSET
The servant-leader is servant first...it begins with that
natural feeling that one wants to serve. The best test,
which is difficult to administer, is: Do those served grow
as persons? Do they, while being served, become
healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely
themselves to become servants?

8. PRIORITIZE WORK AT THE INTERSECTION OF PASSION
AND CONTRIBUTION
… be careful of assuming that throwing more
opportunities or stretch assignments at your employee is
the key to unlocking passion. At some point, this can lead
to a “brownout” — a term used to describe part of the life
cycle of a star.

9. KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO HELP SOMEONE TO MOVE ON
People will not always have work or opportunities that hit
the “passion contribution” zone. Th key is to recognize
when a role has run its course.
Not allowing a protégé to move on or spread their wings
can create a passion drain.
