Building Community Central to a sense of community within an organization is an agreement of shared values and
a common sense of purpose. The servant leader embraces these qualities but takes community building one step further. The servant leader focuses on meeting the needs of all interdisciplinary providers by balancing the needs of each rather
than regarding them as competing interests. Like a community in the traditional sense wherein neighbors are helpful, supportive, and respectful of one another, the servant leader provides support for each provider’s highest priority needs.
