Servant Leadership

A leadership style that puts the team first by understanding, supporting, and developing its members so they can remove obstacles, grow their skills, and achieve top performance together.

Key Points

  • Leader serves the team by clearing impediments and securing needed resources.
  • Focuses on people growth, coaching, and continuous learning.
  • Builds trust, psychological safety, and shared ownership of outcomes.
  • Measures success by team performance and customer value, not personal authority.

Example

A Scrum Master notices recurring delays from slow test environments. They work with IT to provision on-demand test environments, coach the team on test automation, and facilitate a retrospective to adjust the workflow. As a result, the team shortens cycle time and consistently meets sprint goals.
