Servant Leadership
Is a kind of servanthood and done as a sense of vocation. It also implies stewardship of
good citizenship and community. It is a means of serving others more than oneself.
Principles of Servant Leadership
According to Spears (2002) the following are the principles of servant leadership:
1. Listening. The servant leader seek to identify the will of the group and helps clarify that
will. He or she will seek to listen receptively to what is being said
2. Empathy. The servant leader strives to understand and emphasize with others. People
needs to be accepted and recognized for their special unique spirits.
3. Healing. One of the greatest strengths of a servant leader is the potential of healing one’s
self and others because many people have broken spirits and have suffered from a variety
of emotional hurts.
4. Awareness. It aids one in understanding issues involving ethics and values and view
most situations from a more integrated and holistic position.
5. Persuasion. Another characteristic of a servant leader is the primary reliance on

persuasion rather than positional authority in making decisions within an organization.
6. Conceptualization. Servant leaders seek to nurture their abilities to “dream great

dreams”. The ability to look problems from a conceptualized perspective means that one
must think beyond today’s realities.
7. Foresight. This enables the servant leaders to understand the lessons from the past, the
realities to the present, and the likely consequence of a decision for the future.
8. Building community. Servant leadership suggest that the true community can be created
among those who work in business and other insititutions.
Seven Habits of Steven Covey

I. Independence or Self-Mastery
Habit 1- Be Proactive - take the initiative in life by realizing that your decisions and
how they align with life’s principles are the primary
determining factor for effectiveness in your life. Take
responsibility for your choices and the subsequent
consequences that follow.
Habit 2 – Begin with the End in Mind- Self discovery and clarify your deeply important
character values and life goals. Envision the
ideal
characteristics for each of your various roles and
relationships in life.
Habit 3 – Put First Things First - Plan, Prioritize and execute your week’s tasked based
on
importance rather than urgency. Evaluating if your
efforts exemplify your desired character values, propel
you towards your goals, and enrich the roles and
relationships that were elaborated in Habit 2.
II. Interdependence - The next three have to do with interdependence (i.e. working with
others)
Habit 4 Think Win-Win - Genuinely strive for mutually beneficial solutions or

agreements in your relationships. Valuing and respecting
people by understanding a “win” for all is ultimately a
better long-term resolution than if only one person in the
situation had gotten his way.
Habit 5 – Seek First to Understand than to be Understood. Use empathetic listening

to
be genuinely influenced by a person, which compels them
to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being
influenced by you. This creates an atmosphere of caring,
respect and positive problem solving.
Habit 6 – Synergize – Combine strength of people through positive teamwork, so as

to
achieve goals no one person could have done alone. Get the
best
performance out of a group of people through encouraging
meaningful contribution, and modelling inspirational and
supportive leadership.
III. Self-renewal – the last habit relates to self-rejuvenation
Habit 7 - Sharpen the saw - Balance and renew your resources, energy and health to
create a sustainable, long term effective lifestyle.
