skills:

5. A servant leader will make everyone on the
team feel important. Followers will be able
to voice concerns and ideas. This type of
leader does not stand over the team making
demands, but stands shoulder to shoulder to
subordinates. The servant leader will focus
on providing the team with the necessary
tools to get the job done and developing the
team.
While being a servant to the team, the
leadership role must not be forgotten. A
leader must have a clear vision that is
communicated to the team. The team must
be given difficult yet attainable goals. The
leader must recognize and reward
outstanding work and not be afraid to cut a
team member who is holding the team back.
A good leader will have the same
expectations for every member of the team.
