Servant leadership is an approach to leading in which leaders view their primary role as helping followers in their quests to satisfy personal needs,aspirations,and interests.Servant leaders see pursuit of their own personal needs,aspirations,and interests as secondary to the followers' pursuit of these factors.They place high value on service to others over self-interests and see their main responsibility as the care of human resources of the organizations.
