It doesn\u2019t work that way. What happens outside your organization is impacting the people inside your organization. Servant leaders don\u2019t put on blinders and only focus on the day-to-day work. Only transactional leaders do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Servant leaders stand up for all the people they represent \u2013 especially when it\u2019s different from their perspective \u2013 because they understand trust is the cornerstone of servant leadership. They engage in conversations on what\u2019s happening in people\u2019s personal lives, racial injustice, LGBTQ equality, and workplace safety. Servant leaders check in with people, challenging their own perspectives and authentically taking a stand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/matoproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Coaching-Blog-Image-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are six actions you can take this week to be more of a servant leader \u2013 regardless of your role in the organization:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Send a quick message and acknowledge how much you appreciate someone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demonstrate empathy.
