Robert E. Greenleaf

Robert E. Greenleaf was an American author and management expert, best known for developing the concept of "servant leadership" in the 1970s. He argued that true leaders prioritize serving others and empowering their team members, rather than seeking power or authority for themselves. Greenleaf believed that effective leadership involves listening, empathy, and a commitment to the personal growth of others. His ideas have influenced various fields, including business, education, and community service, promoting a more ethical and people-centered approach to leadership that values collaboration and social responsibility.
