Leadership Philosophy
The Art of Servanthood
Servant leaders can go a mile than concentrate on the workforce: they could inspire them.
Indeed, in many methods, encouragement is the hallmark expression of a servant leader, and
it's miles a notably effective tool, professionals say. Servant leaders are a modern bunch—
they take the conventional energy management version and flip it absolutely upside down.
This new hierarchy places the people—or personnel, in a commercial enterprise context—on
the very pinnacle and the chief on the bottom, charged with serving the person above them.
And that is simply the manner servant leaders like it. That's because those leaders own a
serve-first mindset and they're centered on empowering and uplifting individuals who paint
for them.

Transformational
Transformational leaders bring change and movement to their organizations. These leaders aim to change the status quo by influencing people to buy into a new vision and new opportunities. People who become exceptional transformational leaders rely on authority and power to motivate and inspire them. A transformational leader's powerful influence, however, can also cause catastrophe. To maintain accountability, leaders and organizations need to stay within specific boundaries. Ultimately, transformational leaders provide new inspiration, new motivation, and new behaviours for their organizations. (Tucker and Russell, 2004). Teachers' satisfaction with transformational leadership was influenced by both direct and indirect effects through the occupation perceptions. (Bogler,2001).
Servant leadership
Rusell (2001) expounds on the values in leadership literature in terms of the trust, recognition of others, and empowerment as three aspects of servant leadership. A servant leader is guided by values. Servant leaders, in my opinion, differ fundamentally from other types of leaders
because of their leadership values. According to Van (2011), the role of servant leaders is to combine their need to serve with their motivation to lead. Individual characteristics and cultural characteristics go hand-in-hand with motivation. By empowering and developing
others, expressing humility, accepting interpersonal differences, being a steward, and providing direction, servant leadership is exhibited. In order to encourage self-actualization, positive job attitudes, performance, as well as greater attention to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, trust and fairness are expected to be the most important mediating processes.
Comparison of transformational leadership with a servant leader
Transformational leadership in addition to servant leadership can more effective within the organization. Servant leadership emphasizes the following characteristics that are tailored to the transformational components and are highlighted as follows with the scenario
when covid outburst with uncertainties. Servant leaders seek to achieve organizational goals by developing and unleashing the
creative potential of human resources SL represents a radical approach – it is humanistic and spiritual rather than rational and mechanistic; it puts workers rather than shareholders at the center of concentric circles, and it motivates workers primarily through creating a caring and
supportive workplace rather than through individual incentive systems.
Wong,et.al., (2007) states servant leadership focuses on
• As a servant leader, (a) exercising power in a humble and ethical manner,
• Assuring genuine relationships between leaders and followers, and
• It is important to create a positive and supportive workplace.
Servant leaders, however, are able to incorporate all of the positive aspects of other models of leadership except command-and-control dictatorship in the actual exercise of leadership. Amidst innumerable leadership within the organization, teachers and schools must be
carefully treated in a balanced space in turn to benefit the learners. Leadership that fosters transformation significantly impacts teacher innovation capability, both directly and through organizational learning. In the uncertain period of the era like a pandemic, more concentration should be given to individual needs wherein the emotional mental health is the concern to push for work for
teachers. So as the head of a government school, I preferred a transformational that fits in with
leadership for a change rather than transactional leadership.
