to set aside his self-interest and focus on serving others. It also involves giving the
subordinates the chance to make decisions on their own for the betterment of the company
operations. Servant leaders delegate responsibilities to group members to make their own
decisions, although it is especially useful when working with highly qualified
experts(Nohria & Khurana, 2014). Servant leadership is all about caring and being
concerned for the wellbeing of others. 3. Adaptive Leadership Theory.In this theory, the

2. leaders should be available for the employees during tough times and also be in such a
position that they have to come up with short-term solutions to ease challenges affecting
the organization. The leader is tasked with mobilizing the subordinates to press on and
continue working hard in tough times (Dugan, 2016). When employees are without a
definite solution to their issues, they tend to get demotivated and bored, leading to low
productivity in the organization. As the CEO of the company will be tasked with leading the
company in the right direction. It is through serving the interest of the company and being
concerned about the worker’s issues and challenges that will help the company grow.
Implementing the theory would be ideal for the organization. First, leading other managers
and subordinates by example will help in the adoption of the servant leadership style into
the way the company operates (Mahajan, 2011). Practicing the leadership style will inspire
employees also to endeavor to keep their selfinterest at bay and focus on serving humanity.
Being the Leader of an organization, have to up the game to ensure that the organization is
running well despite the challenges being faced. Talking with the employees and ensuring
there is effective communication between the top management and the subordinates is
critical in ensuring the organization meets its objective (Mango, 2018). Implementation of
the adaptive theory will help strengthen employees at the workplace and make them get
used to challenges. Leading the company as the CEO, applying consultative leadership style
through involving employees and encourage employees to keep the spirit of good work
without dwelling on the challenges faced by them. The theory will influence how the
subordinates will work towards meeting the company’s objectives. When leaders lead by
example, the team followers are left with no alternative but to corporate and work together.
Although the implementation of the theory comes with challenges like some employees,
tend to blame each other for poor decision making and lead to a lack of motivation among
them The adaptive leadership theory will influence the outcome in the operations
concerning the company. There will be a steady improvement in the way employees adapt
to work and are eager to complete the tasks assigned to them at the workplace. How the
theory influences success in the organization is a key achievement for the CEO. Employees
have a culture of adapting to severe challenges in the company is destined for success. Q)
