Some well-known servant leaders are Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela. In contrast to the boss-centered, authoritarian leadership, servant leaders are other-focused. They invest in, build up, and develop the people they lead.

The best servant leader I had (never thought of him as a 'servant' leader before!) was a boss who saw that I was doing a great job, and when I kept asking for permission to stay later for special activities (for elderly & disabled, to do some evening activities, dinners, etc) and make it up by coming in later when mornings were slow, he said, "you know, you don't have to ever ask me that again. You are doing great. I don't care what hours you work. As long as they add up to 40 every Friday, you do whatever you need to do!" That freedom and trust empowered me to do the best job I could do. I actually left the job each day energized, not wanting to leave! Later, 2 future bosses were the opposite; strict, not trusting those below them, forcing me into their mold even though they didn't even understand my job. Selfish leaders.
Servant leadership is definitely needed because it models the behavior you want to see in your employees. There is no doubt that it is a great way to look at others. It really has the ability to impact others in a significant way!
I worked for a servant leader when I first entered the HR function at General Electric. She had my back in every situation. I knew I could approach her and request resources for my personal and professional development. I knew she valued my point of view and she continuously encourage me to find my voice and add it to the conversations. She was collaborative in her approach to leadership and leading the Learning and Development team. Her actions demonstrated that she had a deep sense of responsibility to the people on her team. Finally, she set up as her successor when she moved to next role. That is the ultimate testament to her servant leadership.
Had a few servant leaders on my journey. Truly blessings to be around 🙏
I think this is important to learn. The best thing i seen One of my boss do was climb into a hole he needed me too dig. He said that if I wanted loyal people to work for me, I should always show them that I'm not too good to do the work I'm having them do. He said that he wasn't asking us to do anything he wasn't willing to do himself.
Jesus Christ requires servant leadership because he taught us to wash the feet of those who follow us. I also like the thought of the Air Force core value which is "service before self". Great video.
Jesus is the greatest example and teacher of this.good vid by the way
Coach,
I have been in food industry for over 40 years. Have seen the good the bad, and ugly.
Thanks for this, I have been a servant leader for 20 years and you aptly captured it.
The best way I do this is open and prepare material for my crew so they don't have to stop to do it, I also can ask the slower workers to do this prep or split the responsibility between myself and another slower worker.
Great video Alex. Servant leadership are the roots with which great leadership can grow and flourish!
My favorite way to lead, thank you
I was in service line, I am a servant leadership all the time, and I put a bit of bureaucracy and democratic skill.
Thank you for your very clear instruction with every video. I appreciate your wisdom.
One day at my uncle's house, the kitchen outlet sink got completely blocked. We had ignored it for about a week until when the dirty waters could nolonger go. One morning before going to work, my uncle who was a doctor decided to unblock the sink. He did not bother call any one of us (two adult males under his care in his house). Having unblocked the sink without even the gloves, he called me and requested that I go pour out the dirty smelly stuff. He washed his hands, took his breakfast and on his way out for work, he remembered to wish me a good day. That level of humility puzzles me and is in my memory todate.
better explanation then my textbook. Thanks!
Alex, the majority of people in my community today call their leaders, Boss, which is exactly what you just mentioned, Traditional leaders. They haven't realize the difference between servant leadership and Traditional leadership.
I am looking for a short SL video to share with a diverse group of local government councillors. I happened upon yours! Nice! My experiences are many. I had a "boss" who was a servant leader. I remembered forgetting my passport when I was in his car driving to Disney with my family members. Fear and embarrassment gripped me. Eventually, I told him. He drove back to get the passport and missed the Disney experience with us. Whew! I was able to grow in leaps and bounds as a result of the opportunities he made possible for me.
