Servant Leadership
Hunter (1998) described the servant leader as the loving of their team members. Love here is not the feeling but the action. He stated that love the action is defined in 1 Corinthians 13 as "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres” (NIV). If we “love” our team, they will follow us without question. They will follow because they want to be loved. They want to please those who please them. If you lead as a servant leader with love, you will lead with influence, not power. Then you will be a successful leader.
