Servant leadership is another important and widely adopted leadership approach.

Although several scholars have been working on defining and refining the construct of servant leadership there is no consensus about a precise definition and theoretical framework of servant leadership.

While Graham (1991) identifies autonomy, emulation of leaders’ service orientation, humility, relational development of followers and relational power as being the salient characteristics of servant leadership Spears (1995) identifies ten traits of servant leaders: awareness, commitment to the growth of people, community building, conceptualization, empathy, foresight, healing, listening, persuasion and stewardship.
