Servant leadership is leadership philosophy under which main objective of leader is to
serve. It is varied from the traditional leadership where focus of leader is thriving of an
organisation. This is leadership philosophy that developed on belief that many leaders strive to
be serve other than accrue power. Service leadership is fundamentally a timeless term and
ideology where a business leader's main role is to help. This style of leadership is varied from the
other forms of leadership, as here, the leaders do not think in judgement over workers, but they
do strive to represent their company properly (Greenwood, 2016). In this, servant leader shares
the power, put requirements of staff members and also assist people to create and perform
effectively. It seeks to move the management as well as personnel interaction away from the
controlling activities and also towards synergistic relationship between parties.

to support around them or serving to help them to make successful. In servant leadership,

leadership will pay more dividends for staff members now and in future. McDonald is main part
