Servant Leadership

Introduction

In 21st century businesses, the drive to compete and perform breeds leadership styles that are authoritative, demanding and often purely transactional. While this may lead to results in the short term, the long-term consequences to organisational health are proven to be negative. Among the numerous alternatives, the Servant Leadership style has gained a reputation as a highly effective style of leading teams and organisations - not only towards high performance, but also towards a positive organisational culture that takes serious the engagement and wellbeing of their employees.
