You mentioned servant leadership I’m all about servant leadership but I also recognize that there’s this thing called Urban servant leadership and urban servant leadership is totally different than servant leadership because yes you are leading by serving but when you’re an urban servant leader you’re leading by serving and the people that you’re
Serving are also spitting in your face at the same time so it takes a lot to be a servant leader in an urban context because the people typically look like you many times they’re they’re connected to you or they’re related to you or contextually they’re coming from the
Same environment and it hurts a lot to be an urban servant leader because you’re trying to help a community that you love that you’re committed to but at the same time that Community is not necessarily loving you back and tank of an urban servant leader empties a lot
Quicker than the tank of a servant leader why because a servant leader will drive into a community they’ll serve they’ll get back in their car and they’ll drive back home and they’ll they’ll leave that community that serve where Urban servant leader actually is serving in the community that they live
In they worship in they work they serve in that same community so you can’t really leave it
