Servant Leadership


Robert K. Greenleaf, an AT&T executive, coined the phrase servant leadership in 1970. The servant-leadership philosophy stresses increased service to others, a holistic approach to work, promoting a sense of community, and the sharing of power in decision making.

Servant leadership supports people who choose to serve first, and then lead as a way of expanding service to individuals and organizations.
