Abstract

Servant leadership, an exceptional form of leading and interacting with the followers in the process of endogenous and exogenous goal achievement, generally involves ‘I serve’ form rather than the commonly practiced ‘I lead’ form. Conceived in the realm of spiritual and ethical form of influencing, the theory and practice of servant leadership is still in its evolving stage. The converging and diverging interpretations, however, do not dilute the essence of servant leadership. The differing analyses further illuminate the nature of servant leadership. In dissecting the components of this unique form influencing, the key psychological processes are subjected to study in the context of the general parameters of servant leadership.
