Uncommon to other well-known leadership models, servant leadership explicitly states that the leader serves as steward by focusing the needs of the follower, whilst growing the followers' autonomy. Consequentially, followers increase in capabilities and collaboration, strengthen the leader-follower relationships through partnership, generating decisions that can withstand challenges and sustain organizational success. The purpose of this chapter is to convey the applicability of this universal leadership model, illustrating how it would support culturally diverse case studies. Research has already stated that servant leadership is beneficial to Millennials. Little literature has focused on how to operationalize it for the younger generation. Barbuto Jr. and Gottfredson mentioned the vital necessity to train Millennials in servant leadership behaviors. This chapter highlights how servant leadership might be applied based on Van Dierendonck's and Van Dierendonck and Nuijten's research on Millennials in Asia.

The purpose of this article is multi-layered. First, we focus on gaining a comprehensive insight into a research area which just recently received more recognition in management literature: servant leadership. Second, we identify antecedent and outcomes of servant leadership within the existing research body. Third, we synthesize and develop a comprehensive servant leadership model. It assists academics and practitioners in keeping pace with the increasing servant leadership literature. The systematic literature review provides explanations as to why managers practice servant leadership. The study also contributes to a better understanding of the outcomes of servant leadership and brings clarity to a discombobulated group of studies.

Research aims to explain leadership in the Old Testament to find out ideally and pragmatically spiritual leadership has essential philosophical principles and in the pragmatic level the leadership is manifested in the light of philosophical principles with a theological ethical nuance. This attitude needs to be emphasized by noting that a Christian leader is an individual who has been redeemed by God, by whom he must be sure that he is called by God to assume the responsibility given. In writing this scientific paper, the writer uses the research method namely: The author obtains data through library research that is the writing books and lecture dictates. Based on the entire discussion, the following conclusions can be drawn: First, the Leader gives influence. This means that a church or organization without a leader will not produce an order of values and good results. Second, the leadership model. This means that there are several leadership models that can be applied in church leadership and leadership in non-Christian institutions. Abstrak Penelitian bertujuan untuk menjelaskan kepemimpinan dalam Perjanjian Lama untuk mengetahui secara idealis maupun pragmatis kepemimpinan rohani itu memiliki prinsip-prinsip filosofis yang esensial dan dalam tataran pragmatis kepemimpinan itu diwujudkan dalam terang prinsip-prinsip filosofis yang bernuansa etis teologis. Sikap ini perlu dipertegas dengan memperhatikan bahwa seorang pemimpin Kristen adalah seorang individu yang telah ditebus Allah, yang olehnya ia harus yakin bahwa ia terpanggil Allah untuk memangku tanggung jawab yang diberikan. Dalam penulisan karya ilmiah ini, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian yaitu: Penulis memperoleh data melalui penelitian kepustakaan yaitu buku-buku penulisan serta diktat-diktat perkuliahan. Berdasarkan seluruh pembahasan maka dapat ditarik kesimpulan sebagai berikut: Pertama, Pemimpin itumemberikan pengaruh. Artinya gereja atau organisasi tanpa pemimpin tidak akan menghasilkan tatanan nilai dan hasil yang baik. Kedua, model kepemimpinan. Artinya ada beberapa model kepemimpinan yang bisa diterapkan dalam kepemimpinan gereja dan kepemimpinan pada lembaga-lembaga non-Kristen.

We argue that there are essentially two chief leadership models: the hard-style and soft-style leadership. From Neutrosophic point of view, there can be a third way, between hard-style leadership and soft-style leadership model, which may be more relevant to many of people in developing countries as well as in developed countries, who feel “powerless” and “hopeless” especially in this pandemic situation. We prefer to call this new approach: leading from powerlessness. The third-way Neutrosophic leadership model may also mean partially hard-style and partially soft-style leadership.

Leadership and ethics continue to be important areas of research. The devastating results of failed leadership in numerous Enron-like situations have ensured that this is the case. This chapter suggests how various leadership approaches and behaviors lead to or develop different types of employee behaviors that impact organizational outcomes. The framework reviews ethical, transformational, and servant leadership, and their relationship to self-regulatory focus. Specifically, promotion-oriented leaders tend to reflect transformational and servant-leadership behaviors and resulting organization cultures, while prevention-oriented leaders match the ethical leadership style and related organization culture. The prevention orientation is a conservative mindset guiding consistent leader and employee behavior, while the promotion orientation provides more opportunity for unique and innovative behaviors.

Initial Hypothesis

The main objective of this research is to identify the women’s leadership model diffused through management literature in order to determine if there is a pre-eminence of essentialist and exclusionary principles in its sense. Through the Appraisal Theory and by analyzing a recent management literature sample, the values associated with the women’s leadership model are identified, and a conclusion about their essentialist character is reached. The initial hypothesis is that the women’s leadership model, disseminated to professional women through management literature, contains an essentialist character that reproduces gender dichotomies and the rational homo oeconomicus model by hindering gender equality and the development of egalitarian leadership models from being accomplished.

Leadership Research

As one of the emerging themes in research on sport management leadership, servant leadership focuses on facilitating individual growth and moral development. The present study tested a hypothesized research model that demonstrates support for the effects of a head coach's servant leadership on athletes' ethical development and team outcome confidence through the quality that characterizes the coach–athlete relationship. We recruited 347 student-athletes of football teams and men's basketball teams who play under the Division I system of the US National Collegiate Athletic Association. Whereas the quality of the coach–athlete relationship partially mediated the association between servant leadership and ethical development, it fully mediated the paths from servant leadership to team outcome confidence. This study provides empirical support for the positive influence of servant leadership behaviors and advances an improved understanding of the role played by the aforementioned relationship quality in coaching leadership research.
