Servant Leadership
A "servant leader" is someone, regardless of level, who leads simply by meeting the needs of the team. The term sometimes describes a person without formal recognition as a leader.
These people often lead by example. They have high integrity and lead with generosity . Their approach can create a positive corporate culture, and it can lead to high morale among team members.
Supporters of the servant leadership model suggest that it's a good way to move ahead in a world where values are increasingly important, and where servant leaders can achieve power because of their values, ideals, and ethics .
However, others believe that people who practice servant leadership can find themselves "left behind" by other leaders, particularly in competitive situations.
This leadership style also takes time to apply correctly: it's ill-suited to situations where you have to make quick decisions or meet tight deadlines.
