Chick-fil-A: Fast Company article

The main idea of "servant leadership," says Cathy, is that leaders serve the staff. Managers treat their employees how they want those employees, in turn, to treat customers.

10 things young leaders need to succeed by Dan Rockwell

High personal standards. Low standards lead to mediocrity. Clarity regarding challenges. Making it easy, when its difficult, frustrates and

disappoints. Ability to transition through disappointment and frustration to positive action. Real, meaningful responsibility. Young leaders don’t realize you’re putting political

capital on the line for them, when you give them authority. Do it anyway. Let them do things where failure matters.

Environments where it’s safe to try and learn. Behavioral solutions to leadership failures. A “one of,” not, “one above,” attitude. Responsibility, not entitlement. Experienced leaders who believe in them. Affirmation and constant feedback. Encourage them to evaluate and give feedback on

their own performance. Bonus: Young leaders need mentors, not meddlers.
