What kind of leader do i want to follow during a time of change? i want to follow a servant-leader. why? because servant-leaders do not use organizational change as the excuse for building their own power and position. they do not make changes based on personalities, factional politics, and competition between rivals. instead, servant-leaders focus on meeting the needs of the organization and those it serves. servant-leaders listen, consult, and analyze information so that the organization can adapt and remain relevant to changing needs. hard decisions may have to be made, but if so, they will be made by giving priority to the needs of employees, customers, business partners, and the communities in which the servant leaders operate. who is a servant-leader? a servant-leader is any leader who is focused on identifying and meeting the needs of others, rather than trying to acquire power, wealth, and fame for oneself. servant-leaders love people, and enjoy them. that gives them a lot of meaning and satisfaction in their lives and their work. one of the best things about servant-leaders is that they don't bring a lot of ego baggage with them. they don't worry about their own personal status or prestige.
