It has been a standard in Agile project management for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u201cServant Leader\u201d is attributed to a paper written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenleaf.org\/about-us-3\/robert-k-greenleaf-biography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Robert K. Greenleaf<\/a> in 1970. In this paper, Greenleaf posited that a good leader must choose to be a servant first, which then brings them to aspire to lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast with the theory of Servant Leadership, the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypsychology.org\/autocratic-leadership.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">autocratic leadership<\/a> concept describes one who leads from the top. Control is everything to an autocratic leader, who demands that the group follows without questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autocratic leadership can work well in the military and other environments where decisions must be made quickly and orders followed promptly. A military leader typically focuses on completing a mission without being concerned about the welfare of each individual. However, this style of leadership concentrates all of the decision-making on one person, which can ultimately exclude team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those striving to become good servant leaders share many common traits. For example, a good servant leader puts the team first. Serving the group and allowing room for personal growth empowers the servant leader to move the group towards a collective ultimate goal. A servant leader can see the true strengths of individual team members and leads by allowing for self-organization and decision-making from within the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"humility\">For Project Management Professionals (PMP), developing servant leadership traits can help them become more effective managers in an Agile environment. Let\u2019s take a look at seven traits that capable servant leaders commonly possess and how these traits translate to an effective management style in Agile project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On this page:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#humility\">Humility<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#listening\">Good Listening Skills<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#value\">Seeing the Value in People<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#trustworthiness\">Trustworthiness<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#caring\">A Caring Person<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#accountability\">Accountability to Those They Lead<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#needs\">Puts the Needs of Followers First<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#e9f7ff\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/02\/07154948\/7-Secrets-Thumbnail-2022-809x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5030\" width=\"309\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/02\/07154948\/7-Secrets-Thumbnail-2022-809x1024.png 809w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/02\/07154948\/7-Secrets-Thumbnail-2022-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/02\/07154948\/7-Secrets-Thumbnail-2022-768x972.png 768w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/02\/07154948\/7-Secrets-Thumbnail-2022.png 1010w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 309px) 100vw, 309px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"block-eef25254-e22e-41f6-826b-cab064e3d095\"><strong>7 Secrets to Passing the PMP\u00ae Exam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-14690051-2796-4b03-bcb7-95d54bd01fcd\"><em>Learn the secrets to passing the PMP\u00ae exam on your first try.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\thbspt.enqueueForm({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tportalId: 3294842,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformId: \"4091cf73-280a-4cd8-be87-aec72cada392\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget: \"#hbspt-form-1776531844000-1737471421\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tregion: \"na1\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hbspt-form\" id=\"hbspt-form-1776531844000-1737471421\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"humility\"><strong>1. Humility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of a Project Management Professional (PMP) is an important one in servant leadership, as it requires an individual to possess qualities of humility that are essential for successful projects. An effective servant leader must be humble \u2014 in other words, a person who prioritizes others above themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This humility must be genuine; rather than simply acting humble, a good servant leader should know and understand that results cannot be achieved without the others in the group. In <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/blog\/the-basics-of-agile-project-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agile project management<\/a>, it is imperative that a leader accomplishes the group\u2019s goals. By being humble in themselves and putting the needs and wants of other group members before their own, the servant leader gains credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"listening\"><strong>2. Good Listening Skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Servant leadership in <a href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/resources\/blog\/agile-methodology-in-project-management-for-pmp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agile project management<\/a> is accompanied by good listening skills. A good leader must be able to truly listen without judgment and genuinely desire to learn and understand others before being understood themselves. Deep listening and understanding allow the servant leader to discern when they are needed and identify how they can empower each individual in a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"value\"><strong>3. Seeing the Value in People<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A servant leader can perceive and recognize a person\u2019s value. Merely thinking that a person is valuable to the group is insufficient. Good servant leaders can see a person as they are and appreciate what makes them an asset. Servant leaders commit themselves not only to the group, but also to the individuals it comprises, seeing and understanding both the parts and the whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trustworthiness\"><strong>4. Trustworthiness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Servant leaders lend their trust to others. Through this ability to give trust, they in turn gain trust from the group. The group sees the servant leader as a genuine person who is willing to shoulder risks on behalf of their followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Studying for the PMP Exam?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/free-pmp-questions\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#366194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMP Practice Questions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"caring\"><strong>5. A Caring Person<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A true servant leader honestly cares for each individual in a group. Kindness and compassion for the well-being of the people in the group create a sense of mutual trust and honesty. The result is a common purpose and goal that the group strives to accomplish together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accountability\"><strong>6. Accountability to Those They Lead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A servant leader holds themselves accountable to the others in the group. This creates a team of co-workers that move toward a common goal together. Instead of considering themselves the ultimate authority, a servant leader shares both authority and identity collectively with the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"needs\"><strong>7. Puts the Needs of Followers First<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good servant leader recognizes the importance of the group over its leader. Empowering the individuals in the group allows a servant leader to ensure the group\u2019s efforts will flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding a servant leader\u2019s role is vital in effectively leading an Agile project. Doing whatever is necessary to support the team\u2019s joint success is a core tenet of servant leadership as it pertains to Agile project management and Project Management Professionals (PMP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By leveraging this leadership approach, a servant leader empowers their team to make decisions and independent contributions toward delivering desired organizational results. A servant leader should strive to serve first through facilitating meetings, removing impediments to success, coaching, and supporting the development team, the client, and the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Agile management, leaders must possess the ability to empower team members. A good servant leader allows teams to organize themselves and encourages innovation. Taking away distractions and obstacles to success allows a servant leader to guide the group in maximizing results and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Upcoming PMP Certification Training &#8211; Live &amp; Online Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered table-responsive-sm font-md mt-5 mb-0 d-none d-md-table\"><tr><td>Name<\/td><td>Date<\/td><td>Place<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Servant leadership has proven highly successful in Agile project management, an iterative approach focusing on the continuous release of information and customer feedback.
