While extremely passive in practice, servant leadership may be more successful to maintain over the long-term, primarily because it leads through example and inspiration.
Many industrial psychologists associate servant leadership with higher degrees of genuine satisfaction among workers, because (where it is successful) it represents a Naturally evolved enterprise loyalty based on proven results. Naturally, therefore, servant leadership may work best where (1) the servant leader demonstrates, by his own success, operational techniques and procedures that are repeatable by others, and (2) personal achievement is connected to some tangible reward or benefit to the individual.
For the same reason, servant leadership is better suited to industries and enterprises characterized by low turnover and high long-term retention. Unlike transformational and charismatic leadership styles, servant leadership is a very low- intensity experience that does not correspond to high burnout rates. In this regard,
Successfully implemented servant leadership mirrors elements of small communal societies, in that individuals contribute to the community for the good of everyone, which, in turn, also benefits the individual, indirectly (Spears, 2002).

Conversely, charisma is a beneficial trait for all leaders with the possible exception of servant leadership. As between transformational and charismatic leadership, interpersonal relations, group unity through identity, ritual ceremonies, and symbolism play very similar roles, differing mainly in the specific object. Ultimately, transactional motivation characterizes the relationship of the most common relationship between the individual and the community in modern society, only because most work must fulfill specific functions or meet certain output goals rather than specifically because transformational and charismatic leadership both lend themselves to pathological loyalty to corrupt ideology and personalities.
