About Servant Leadership

ROBERT K GREENLEAF

Robert K. Greenleaf was an American author, scholar, and consultant who is widely regarded as the founder of the modern servant leadership movement.

He popularized the concept of servant leadership through his essay titled "The Servant as Leader," which he first published in 1970.

Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy where the leader's primary goal is to serve and support the needs of their team members.

In servant leadership, leaders prioritize the growth and well-being of their followers, empowering them to reach their full potential.

Servant leaders exhibit a strong sense of empathy, actively listening to their team members and understanding their concerns, needs, and aspirations.

Servant leaders aim to make a positive impact on the lives of their followers, the organization, and the community as a whole.

They prioritize service to others over personal gain or recognition, focusing on the collective success of the team and organization.
