1. Helping those we are responsible for to reach their
fullest potential

2. 1. Put service before self interest- Desire to empower others takes
precedence over the desire to achieve more power for ourselves.
2. Listen first to affirm others- The servant leader does not have all the
answer; nor does he claim to. He listens carefully to the problems of
others, provides understanding, and affirms his confidence in
others.
3. Inspire trust by being trustworthy- Servant leaders gain trust because
they give everything away- power, control, rewards, information, and
recognition. This allows others to flourish.
4. Nourish others and help them become whole- Help others to find the
power of the human spirit and accept their responsibilities.

Greenleaf
(1904-1990)

7. What others have to say about servant leadership…
Steven R. Covey, from The Principle-Centered Leader, says, “If our
intent is to serve, to bless others without self concern, we are inwardly
rewarded with increased internal security and an abundance
mentality.”
Robert Wood Johnson, of Johnson & Johnson, says, “It is the duty of
the leader to be a servant to those responsible to him.”
Jesus Christ says in Matthew 20:26-28 “…Whoever wants to be a leader
among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first
among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came
not to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom
for many.”
