Six Things That Make a Servant Leader

A leader with these traits will be able to get their team members to act like good citizens of the company. (OCBs). This will lead to a better atmosphere at work, better ties with other workers, and more teamwork

This leadership style works well for companies with a lot of employee turnover and a need to encourage long-term loyalty and dedication from their staff This is because servant leadership encourages employee growth, allowing workers to get better at their jobs and feel proud of the company they work for
