Servant Leadership and the Dichotomy of Trust Dynamics

Mike’s Note: I am on holiday with my family this week so no blog from me. During my holiday reading time, I came across this very interesting article by Henri Bezuidenhout which links servant leadership and the value of trust to some well-known leadership models of Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard, Henry Cloud and Fons Trompenaars. I have edited the article for brevity. Read on.

Servant leadership, a philosophy pioneered by Robert Greenleaf, centres around leaders prioritizing serving others, fostering an environment where individuals flourish, and organizations thrive through trust, empowerment, and mutual respect.
