Servant Leadership: Putting Others First for Organizational Success

Servant Leadership: Putting Others First for Organizational Success

Sep 14, 2023

In the world of leadership, there's a philosophy that stands out—servant leadership. It's a belief that true leadership isn't about wielding power but about serving others. At its core, it's about putting others first.



The Essence of Servant Leadership

Servant leaders flip the traditional leadership model on its head. Instead of people working to serve the leader, the leader exists to serve their team, organization, or community.


Why Servant Leadership Matters

  • Empowerment: Servant leaders empower their team members to reach their full potential.
  • Trust: By prioritizing others' needs, they build trust and foster strong relationships.
  • Innovation: Servant leaders encourage a culture of innovation and creativity.
  • Employee Engagement: Team members feel valued and engaged, leading to higher productivity.
  • Long-term Success: This approach often results in sustained, long-term success.


Principles of Servant Leadership

  1. Listening: Actively listen to the needs and concerns of your team members.
  2. Empathy: Understand and share in the feelings of others.
  3. Healing: Help to make your team and organization whole and healthy.
  4. Awareness: Be aware of the impact of your decisions and actions.
  5. Persuasion: Use persuasion rather than authority to influence.
  6. Conceptualization: Think beyond the day-to-day and envision the bigger picture.

  8. Stewardship: Be responsible and accountable for the well-being of your team and organization.
