Document Summary

Servant leaders place the good of followers over their own self-interests and emphasize follower development: listening: sending and receiving messages; servant leaders listen first. Servant leadership makes altruism the central component of the leadership process (argues that leaders should followers first, share control with followers, and embrace their growth) Provides a counterintuitive and provocative approach to the use of influence. Research has shown there are conditions under which servant leadership is not a preferred kind of leadership. Research has resulted in a sound measure of servant leadership (slq) Paradoxical nature of the title (cid:498)servant leadership(cid:499) creates semantic noise that that good leaders (cid:498)put others first(cid:499) Unclear why (cid:498)conceptualizing(cid:499) is included as one of the servant leadership behaviours. Large segment of writing on servant leadership has a prescriptive overtone that implies in the model of servant leadership diminishes the potential value of the approach.
