Creating Benevolent Organisations Through Dynamic Servant Leadership

Abstract

Servant leaders build better organizations and create a more positive world. Their focus is mainly on identifying and meeting the needs of others rather than attempting to acquire as much power, wealth, and fame for themselves. This kind of leadership goes beyond serving internal stakeholders, such as employees and contractors. A good servant leader also cares about the external stakeholders, including the customers, the community, and the whole society. It's a positive influence through and through. A servant leader thinks and breathes positivity, compassion, benevolence, and open-mindedness. Implementing the principles of servant leadership helps employees feel more invested in their work and attract top talent in the organization. Servant leadership is a philosophy that places the needs of employees and teams ahead of the leader with the goal of fostering success. This kind of leadership makes the employees committed to make a better society both inside and outside their organizations. Benevolent leaders acknowledge progress, reward success, and celebrate achievement.
