TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP BEATS SERVANT LEADERSHIP

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

A servant leader quickly becomes an overworked single point of failure. Once they leave, there is nobody else who knows how to handle the obstacles the leader moved out of the way for everyone. A good leader coaches people, connects people, teaches methodical problem solving, and explains values and principles embraced by the organization. They create direct links between supply and demand and allow their direct reports to grow their careers. Good leaders are continuously training their replacements and generally make themselves redundant.
