Servant Leader

Great Leader is seen as servant first. Robert K. Greenleaf defined the servant leader as "The servant-leader is servant first... It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first."

Servant leader makes the best leader. The important role of being a servant leader is to serve the people and not to bring glory, wealth and faith to himself/herself.

From my perspective, Servant Leadership is about good business ethics and doing good to your employees, customers and people around you. When people feel they are important part of your organization/business, creativity and productivity increases. In addition, when people feel valued, they value what they do and produce better work. And becoming a servant leader is a lifelong learning and development process.
