Greetings,
For people unfamiliar with Servant Leadership, the first question I am often asked is, “What is it?”
First, let me emphasize that the term is a combination of two different words: servant and leader. Sometimes the term is spelled with a space between the two words, while others spell it with a hyphen between the two words to add clarity and show the term as a single entity.
Putting the right balanced aspects of these two words together gives us a sound definition of what a Servant-Leader actually is. So here it is. Servant Leadership is a human leadership philosophy in which the goal of the leader is to serve others.
A servant leader shares decision-making and power. They place the well-being of employees first and they help people develop and perform as highly as possible.
To learn more about some of the common behaviors of a Servant-Leader, I encourage you to watch our recent YouTube video on this important topic.
