Being the leader my family needs

Started reading about servant leadership and it hit different than the domineering stuff I grew up with. My dad ran the household with an iron fist and I hated it. I want my kids to respect me but through integrity and example, not fear. Any guys here trying to lead like that? Feels old school but actually new school at the same time.

This resonates with me man. I grew up with the old school "my way or the highway" dad too and I swore I'd be different. Servant leadership sounds like what actually works - leading by example instead of just barking orders. How did you start learning about this stuff?

Took me years to unlearn that garbage from my childhood. Servant leadership is the way. You're already ahead of the game just by recognizing the pattern and choosing different.

Real talk, the domineering approach just creates distance. Been trying to shift my own mindset with my three kids and it's actually made things better at home. The kids respect you more when you're humble about it.
