“The servant-leader is servant first… it begins with the natural feeling
that one wants to serve, to serve first.
Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead.
That person is sharply different from one who is leader first…” - Robert K. Greenleaf

Principles of servant leadership are enabling environments for service, personal growth to better serve others, and nurturing relationships and community to collaborate and find meaning in work.

Servant leadership

mariacrislow

Servant leadership was coined by Robert Greenleaf in 1977 and expanded on by Spears in 1995. It focuses on serving others and prioritizing employees' needs. The core concept is that leaders should serve others rather than focusing on power or status. Servant leaders demonstrate 10 key characteristics including listening, empathy, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, and commitment to employee growth and community building. Advantages include strong leader-follower relationships, organizational effectiveness, and positively influencing society. Disadvantages include the difficulty of fulfilling all 10 characteristics and the time needed to fully implement servant leadership.

Agile Leadership – Is a Servant Leader always the Right Approach?

IvanaTerrorBull

There is an accepted wisdom within the Agile community that the right management style is that of the Servant Leader, one who is there to serve the team as a ‘first among equals’. They are not the manager of the team, as the team is self-organising, but rather removes impediments and coaches the team in agile best practices. However, just blindly following this approach in every circumstance can be catastrophic. This talk is aimed at Scrum Masters, their managers and team members. After the talk attendees will understand: • the definition of a servant leader and what this means in practice • the difference between management and leadership • how to assess the current situation in order to decide the most appropriate leadership style • when to change leadership style for maximum results • that a true servant leader is about giving the team what they need, not necessarily what they want

This document discusses leadership styles and teamwork. It defines three main leadership styles: authoritarian (autocratic), participative (democratic), and delegative (laissez-faire). Research found authoritarian leadership led to high productivity but less creativity, while participative leadership produced higher quality work and made group members feel like a team. Delegative leadership gave groups independence but was the least productive. Effective teamwork requires members to consult, help, and motivate each other to achieve goals.
