Shertonia Stanley October 10, 2020 Scott Ross MGT-410-O501 The unique characteristics of servant leadership are empathy the understanding other's feelings, needs, desires etc. Self-awareness It helps in gaining confidence and focus on selfassessment. Persuasion influences the opinions and actions of others through their persuasive skills. Conceptualization imagines the possibilities of future and reconcile it with current realities. Healing focuses on the emotional and spiritual well-being of the followers. Stewardship takes complete responsibility for planning and managing all available resources for the betterment and growth of the organization, employees, and stakeholders. Foresight has the intuitive ability to predict the future, based on the past and the present. Listening pays complete attention to the followers to understand all interpersonal situations, resolve conflicts, counsel other, etc. Commitment to the growth of people an intrinsic value beyond their tangible contributions as workers. Building community, the servant-leader senses that much has been lost in recent human history as a result of the shift from local communities to large institutions as the primary shaper of human lives Dierendonck & Patterson (2010). These elements are different from others leadership because Servant leaders focus is the well-being of the followers whereas traditional leaders focus is the growth and development of the company. Servant leader focus on other interest and they don't change their behavior as per the situation. Traditional leaders can be adjusted as per the behavior and skill level of the employees. Servant leadership style make the employees happy and more engaged in work. Traditional leaders focus on organizational profits and growth. The paradox of servant leadership is the two words put together: servant and leadership. How can one serve and be a leader at the same time? In the following model you see the paradox in recognizing that an effective servant leader requires more than just a desire to serve. He/she must have certain characteristics and qualities in order to enhance the desire to serve into a leadership position. In other words, in order to create an environment where others are truly served, the servant leader must develop themselves to serve in the most effective way. The graphic demonstrates that although a servant leader must start with a desire to serve, it does not end there. Servant leadership can be effectively understood with the graphic representation given parameters by listing in order from the top then clockwise my understanding of effective leadership characteristics. Starting with self-development it should be continual through training of skill enhancement and development of capabilities to perform better. Which leads to team development abilities, the able to understand the meaning and relevance of cooperation and collaboration amongst one another. Then ethical practice and civic mindedness simply means doing good for others and performing the best where people can recognize the good

elements you are providing to the employees. These characteristics cannot be achieved without strategic thinking. You must think through the perspective of various elements, what employees want, what an organization can give and how all this would then be managed for long term benefits and growth. The organization growth comes from innovation this increases chances to discover new opportunities and help foster a competitive advantage by allowing you to build better products and services.
