The concept of servant leadership is by no means a new notion. It was first made fashionable in the 1970’s by Robert Greenleaf. Robert proposed that true leaders prioritise serving others, fostering collaboration and ethical behaviour. This philosophy drew on historical leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Both of whom epitomised selflessness and commitment to community at the core of their leadership.
One of the primary benefits of this leadership model is enhanced team morale. By focusing on the growth and wellbeing of team members, leaders cultivate a sense of trust and commitment. This orientation can lead to increased cooperation, innovation and engagement as employees feel more valued and empowered.
Like any model, of course, there are challenges to be considered with servant leadership. It can sometimes be difficult to balance the needs of the team with organisational goals.
Some may even view this model with a lack of authority or decisiveness. Intermittently, servant leadership may struggle with the demands of serving others whilst also managing performance and accountability.
Overall, my experience with servant leadership is by nature optimistic. It can create an impressive positive and productive workplace. It does require careful navigation though, especially around priorities and expectations in order to be fully effective.
I highly recommend the principles from my implementation of the theory. Although I must admit, I evolved into this management style from instinct rather than theoretical research. So I was pretty surprised to discover it was an actual “ thing “.
What model best suits your management style ?
