Leading Without Micromanaging: What Servant Leadership Really Looks Like
Servant leadership isn’t soft — it’s strategic.
In a world of constant change, leaders are under pressure to move faster, deliver results, and keep teams aligned. Too often, that pressure turns into micromanagement, bottlenecks, and disengaged teams.
In this LinkedIn Live event, Heather Varela (Worldwide Clinical Trials), George Faithfull (Business Unit Manager at AbbVie), along with AgileSherpas’ Monica Georgieff and Ross Libby, break down what servant leadership actually looks like in practice — and why it’s one of the most powerful ways to drive results without burning people out.
This conversation goes beyond theory to explore how effective servant leaders:
✅ Enable accountability without fear or pressure
✅ Remove friction instead of adding oversight
✅ Lead through uncertainty without gripping tighter
✅ Balance trust, clarity, and performance
✅ Get out of the way — without disappearing
If you’re leading teams through change, scaling complexity, or rethinking how leadership needs to show up in 2026, this session will give you practical insight and real-world perspective on what servant leadership really demands.
