The best managers/leaders I've had in this vein are sufficiently recognised for their part in the performance of their team.

Wouldn't it be a small red flag about an organisation if this wasn't the case?

Will your next workplace value all the effort you spent that way?

Are the servant tasks even what you want to spend your time with?

I am not suggesting that the answer to those questions has to be "no". But good to think about it.

Interesting questions.

> Will your next workplace value all the effort you spent that way?

I'd hope so - as it's reasonable to assume that a next role for someone already managing/leading would involve more management/leadership. So yes, skills/achievements/examples in that area should be valued.

It's probably not for everyone; but if someone doesn't want to perform the tasks that (many would say) are necessary to be a good manager/leader, maybe they shouldn't be in a manager/leader position in the first place?
