Abstract

This paper delves into the comparative efficacy of agile leadership and servant leadership within the realm of project management. Agile leadership underscores adaptability, collaboration, and delivery of customer value, while servant leadership centers on serving team members, nurturing their development, and cultivating a supportive atmosphere. This investigation scrutinizes pertinent literature, presents findings from recent projects, and offers insights into the advantages and constraints of both leadership approaches. The result suggests that while agile leadership excels in dynamic, fast-paced settings, servant leadership fosters team cohesion and enduring success. The paper concludes with recommendations for project managers to select the appropriate leadership style based on project requirements.
