Servant Leadership
• Is a kind of servanthood and done as a sense
of vocation.
• It also implies stewardship of good citizenship
and community.
• It is a means of serving others more than
oneself.
• It also implies stewardship ( a recognition of
shared ownership and interdependence rather
than personal ownership of the organization ),
one consequence of which is a sense of
citizenship and community.
• The servant leader facilitates the surfacing of
other ideas and networks, and helps to create
their futures.
Principles of Servant Leadership
• According to Spears ( 2002 ), the following are the principles underpinning
servant leadership:
1. Listening. The servant leader seeks to identify the will of the group and
helps clarify that will. He or she will seek to listen receptively to what is
being said.
2. Empathy. The servant leader strives to understand and empathize with
others. People need to be accepted and recognized for their special
unique spirits.
3. Healing. One of the greatest strengths of a servant leader is the potential
of healing one’s self and others because many people have broken spirits
and have suffered from a variety of emotional hurts.
4. Awareness. It aids one in understanding issues involving ethics and values
and view most situations from a more integrated and holistic position.
5. Persuasion. Another characteristics of a servant leader is the primary
reliance on persuasion rather than positional authority in making
decisions within an organization.
6. Conceptualization. Servant leaders seek to nurture their abilities to “
dream great dreams”. The ability to look at problems from a
conceptualized perspective means that one must think beyond today’s
realities.
7. Foresight. This enables the servant leader to understand the lessons
from the past realities to the present and the likely consequence of a
decision for the future.
8. Building Community. Servant Leadership suggests that the true
community can be created among those who work in business and other
institutions.
Qualities of Servant Leaders
1. Puts others ahead of his agenda. The first mark
of servanthood is the ability to put others
ahead of yourself and your personal desires.
2. Possesses the confidence to serve. The real
heart of servanthood is security. Show me
someone who thinks he is too important to
serve and I’ll show you someone who is
basically insecure. How we treat others is really
a reflection of how we think of ourselves.
3. Initiates service to others. It is away of
serving without being compelled. It manifests
one’s concern to do things for others especially
during crisis. You can really see the heart of
someone who initiates service to others. Great
leaders see the need, seize the opportunity and
serve without expecting anything in return.
4. Is not position- conscious. Servant leader’s
don’t focus on rank or position.
5. Serves out of love. Servanthood is not

motivated by manipulation of self-promotion. It is
fueled with love ( willingness to serve ). In the
end, the extent of your influence depends on the
depth of your concern for others. That is why it is
important for leaders to be willing to serve.
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
( by Steven Covey )
Covey presents an approach to being effective in
attaining goals by aligning oneself with the
principles of a character ethic that he presents
as universal and timeless.
I. Independence or Self-Mastery. The first
three habits surround moving from
dependence to independence ( i.e. self
mastery ) :
Habit 1: Be Proactive. Take initiative in life by realizing that your decisions
( and how they align with life’s principles ) are the primary determining
factor for effectiveness in your life. Take responsibility for your choices
and the subsequent consequences that follow.
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. Self-discover and clarify your deeply
important character values and life goals. Envision the ideal
characteristics for each of your various roles and relationships in life.
Habit 3: Put First Things First. Plan, prioritize, and execute your week’s
tasks based on importance rather than urgency. Evaluating if your efforts
exemplify your desired character values, propel you towards goals, and
enrich the roles and relationships that were elaborated in Habit 2.
II. Interdependence. The next three have to do
with interdependence (i.e. working with others.)
Habit 4: Think Win-Win. Genuinely strive for
mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in
your relationships. Valuing and respecting people
by understanding a “win” for all is ultimately a
better long-term resolution than if only one
person in the situation had gotten his way.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. Use empathetic
listening to be genuinely influenced by a person, which compels them to
reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being influenced by you.
This creates an atmosphere of caring, respect, and positive problem solving.
Habit 6: Synergize. Combine the strengths of people through positive

teamwork, so as to achieve goals no one person could have done alone. Get the
best performance out of a group of people through encouraging meaningful
contribution, and modeling inspirational and supportive leadership.
III. Self Renewal. The last habit relates to self-rejuvenation:

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. Balance and renew your resources , energy , and
health to create a sustainable, long-term, effective lifestyle.
