¶ … Leadership Models
Compare servant leadership to two other leadership models.
Servant, transformational, and authentic leadership have common similarities and differences. The mode of application, style they have used and implementation approach is some of the things that differentiate the three leadership models (Northouse, 2010). Organizational theorists developed the concept of servant leadership. These theorists argue that leadership must meet the primary needs of others. This leadership theory focuses on understanding the leader's role as a servant. Both the servant leadership and transformational leadership have exhibit relative analogous features. This is because the tow tries to explain and define leadership styles that are people oriented. The three theories focus on concepts in the frameworks of vision, modeling, delegation, integrity, trust, and influence. Both theories have emphasized on the value of appreciating, teaching, empowering, and mentoring followers. Evidence of integrity is seen in leaders when they are committed to building the organization based of heart, relationship, self-discipline, value, and purpose (Walumbwa, Avolio & May, 2011).
Servant leaders are defined as persons who posses natural inclination to offer service. Rather than leading in order to gain material possessions, they rule with conscience decision and lead to serve. These leaders' ruling policies are founded on empathy, listening, awareness, healing, conceptualization, persuasion, stewardship, foresight, and commitment to developing human resource as well as, building the community (Walumbwa, Avolio, & May, 2011).
2. Discuss how leaders implement each of the models.
There are common features that are visible in both servant, transformational and authentic leadership, and they include the following;
They both have the urge to serve and are more captivated with the persons they serve.
Have a high significance on values, are mostly driven by qualities empathy.
Decline to mar their values.
Have high significance for the establishment of relations with persons.
The rely on charisma for things to be done as an expected
They both lead with the mentality of personal conviction rather than gaining rewards and status.
They focus on withdrawing from the person's mistakes and weaknesses...
While these traits remain established in authentic leadership, in servant leadership they are unproved facts where empirical studies do not support. The fundamental difference that lies between servant and authentic leadership is the method of approach. Servant and transformational leadership always try their best to be right, but authentic leadership is more on being real. Character drives authentic leadership and has no recognition of styles of leadership, or certain norms that leaders must emulate. The leaders have their own unique style that is built from study, consultation, experience, and consistence on character and personality (Marshall, 2011).
Transformational and servant leaderships emphasize on the significance of appreciation and valuing of persons, mentoring, listening, and empowering followers. Both theories have a similarity on appreciating followers and consideration of individuals. Other than these similarities, there are also differences between servant leadership, authentic and transformational leadership. Authentic, Transformational leaders and servant leaders are highly influential, but servant leaders acquire more influence in a no-traditional manner that comes from servant-hood. In doing so, they give more freedom to their followers so as they can put to exercise their own abilities. They also improve on the level of trust in their followers. This is the same with any other leadership style, which requires the leader to offer guidance (Walumbwa, Avolio & May 2011). Differences exist among the three models. A servant leader is more focused on offering service to the followers while transformational and authentic leaders have a keen focus on engaging the follower with organizational goals and support. The extent at which the leader is capable of shifting their core focus of their stewardship from the organization to the followers is the main source of the differences between the three theories (Spears, 2010).
A servant leader is the one who has focused on his/her followers. Such leaders do not have a certain affinity for the organization or corporation; but rather they value those persons within the organization. This is only…

The process of achieving that end result is similar to the servant leadership process, in that it requires the leader to focus not on levels or situations, but instead on a formula for success, namely "seeing what needs to be done, understanding all the underlying forces play in a situation, [and] having the courage to

Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers). Furthermore, anyone that is willing to assist and help others could be referred to as a leader (p.8) Leaders see what others do not Most leaders have
