Servant leaders

Explanation:

In his 1970 essay, The Servant as Leader, Robert Greenleaf argued that the main goal of a leader is being a servant of those he's in charge of. He coined the term "servant leadership" to describe this type of leadership. Servant leaders would strive to share power with followers and strive to ensure that followers' most important needs are met, they are able to develop as individuals, and their well-being is enhanced, and that attention is paid to those who are least well-off in a society. Following Greenleaf, Larry Sharp would write later write theTen Characteristics of the Servant-Leader (1998), describing the traits a servant-leader.
