There are some common traits of a servant leader: empathy, listening, awareness, forward looking, altruistic and community focused (Spears, 2010).…”

“…Happily, this is exactly what we find in the article “The impact of servant leadership and transformational leadership on learning organization: a comparative analysis” by Xie (2020).
