Essential skills for cross border success. The paradox of servant leadership. If words do not teach and life experience does, leaders influence and servants follow, how can a person be a leader and a servant at the same time? How does one create cultures of responsibility?

10 characteristics of servant leaders according to John Spears, Servant leaders are;

• Good Listeners - they can identify and clarify the will of a group, listen receptively and seek to understand the inner voice.
• Empathy - striving to understand , accept, and recognize others for their special and unique spirits.
• Healing - recognition that human beings have the opportunity to move themselves an other's whole.
• Awareness - the self aware leader views situations from an integrated, holistic, 360 degree view.
• Persuasion - Relying on convincing of others rather coercion or sing positional power.
• Conceptualization - Thinking beyond day, reality when problem solving and developing the ability to dream great dreams.
• Foresight - understanding lessons from the past, present reality and likely outcomes in the future to make intuitive decisions.
• Stewardship - commitment, first and foremost, to serving the needs of others.
• Commitment to the growth of people - believing that people have intrinsic value beyond work and nurturing their personal and professional growth.
• Building community - seeking to identify means for building communities among employees.

Servant leadership is not about personal quest for power and prestige, but rather leadership begins with a true motivation to serve others. The psychology of success and shared values of leadership sets the tone and tune of climate. This is evident in any community.
