Among seven servant leader behaviors emerged from Liden et al.\u2019s (2008), I would choose conceptualizing, helping followers grow and succeed and\u3000Empowerment.<\/p>\n
With conceptualizing, servant leader should understand the organization with a big picture. Leader also needs to concern with the mission of the organization and the long term-vision. Besides that, A servant leader need to grasp how the situation is going on. Servant leader. \u00a0When leader empathized and concern followers first, there may be a risk that the leader\u00a0 is stucked with the followers feeling or requests and loose the long vision. Helping followers grow and succeed may be not always satisfy the followers\u2019 request. Leader with long view can lead the followers in proper direction. Empower is another behavior which servant leader provide. Empowering is to give some power for followers to let them control the situations by themselves. These behaviors remind me Adler psychology. In Adler psychology, we trust people that they can improve naturally and use encouragement to support their grow or improvement.<\/p>\n

Among these three behavior, empower is the most challenging for me. Often in the cases, doing something by myselves is much easier and faster than waiting for somebody is growing to do that. But for prosper of the organization, empower is very important. When each employee becomes aware of their situations and motivated to manage by themselves. Employee can behave more independently.<\/p>\n

I feel servant leadership takes longer time to penetrate to the organization because leader urge and wait for followers\u2019 improvement. Also leader should know both small precise information about followers but also big picture of long-term goal.<\/p>\n
