"practiced in some of the top ranking companies today, and these companies are highly ranked because of their leadership style and following. The phrase Servant Leadership was coined by Robert K.

In this essay, Greenleaf explains how and why he came up with the idea of Servant Leadership, as well as what a Servant Leader should be.

"a new found leader should be someone that servants or workers can relate to. Leo was seen as a servant, but when the other servants realized that things fell apart without him he became far more than just a servant to them. Hence Greenleaf's idea of what a Servant Leader should be. Greenleaf first put his idea of Servant Leadership to use in an organizational sense while he was working as an executive at AT&T. Although Greenleaf first coined the phrase Servant Leadership, the idea came about years before in a religious context. In the bible, Jesus Christ presents the"

"Greenleaf's definition left much room for speculation because it lacks specifics. Servant leadership is handled throughout the literature by many different dimensions. Servant leadership represents a model of leadership that is both inspirational and contains moral safeguards. Most of the literature on servant leadership have standalone quality. Several scholars have tackled the construct presented by Greenleaf. Academic research efforts often focus on altruism, self-sacrifice, charismatic, transforming, authentic, spiritual, and transformational and leader-member exchange. Despite several conceptual papers on the topic of servant leadership, there is no consensus on empirical research for the servant leadership construct. Numerous different researchers and leadership"

Implementing Greenleaf’s ideas in modern American institutions is anathema to many leaders and followers, who desire a different paradigm that is based on coercive power and control rather than legitimate power based on mutual agreements. Greenleaf’s book, however, is the text for anyone interested in connecting the two often disparate terms, servant and leader. His work addressed these two questions in particular: How can leaders serve people? What is the source of legitimate power?

"of the Servant-Leader” described by Larry Spears (1998). Spears distills Greenleaf’s (1977/2002) instrumental means into ten characteristics: listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and building community (pp. 3–6). It is important to note that these characteristics are not simply traits or skills possessed by the leader; a century of research has rejected what Bass and Stogdill (1990) referred to as an “approach [that] tended to treat personality variables in an atomistic fashion, suggesting that each trait acts singly to determine the effects of leadership” (p. 87).
