Servant Leadership: Empowering Others to Build Resilient Organizations
What is a Servant Leader?
A servant leader is someone who prioritizes the well-being, development, and growth of their team members above their own ambitions. This leadership style contrasts with traditional models where the leader’s primary focus is on organizational goals and personal power. Servant leaders believe that by serving their team, they can create a more effective, harmonious, and resilient organization.
Key characteristics of a servant leader include:
1. Listening:
A servant leader actively listens to their team members, valuing their input and perspectives.
This practice builds trust and ensures that everyone feels heard and understood.
2. Empathy:
Servant leaders show genuine concern and compassion for their team members.
They strive to understand their employees’ feelings and experiences, fostering a supportive and caring environment.
3. Healing:
This involves taking care of the emotional and psychological health of the team.
Servant leaders help their team members recover from setbacks and challenges, promoting a sense of well-being and resilience.
4. Awareness:
Servant leaders are self-aware and understand their strengths, weaknesses, and the impact of their actions on others.
This awareness helps them lead more effectively and ethically.
5. Building Community:
Servant leaders foster a sense of belonging and mutual support within their team. Encouraging collaboration, mutual respect, and strong relationships,
they create a strong community that enhances resilience and overall performance.
How to Become a Servant Leader
1. Prioritize Others:
Focus on the needs and growth of your team members.
Actively listen to their concerns, provide support, and show genuine empathy. This builds trust and a sense of community.
2. Encourage Collaboration:
Create an environment that fosters teamwork and open communication.
Encourage team members to share their ideas and work together on problem-solving. Collaboration leads to innovative solutions and a more cohesive team.
3. Empower and Develop:
Invest in the personal and professional development of your team.
Provide opportunities for learning and growth, such as training programs, workshops, and mentorship.
Empowered employees are more engaged and motivated to contribute their best
4. Lead by Example:
Demonstrate the values and behaviors you want to see in your team.
Be humble, ethical, and accountable in your actions. When leaders model the behavior they expect, it sets a standard for the entire team.
5. Build Community:
Foster a sense of belonging and mutual support within your team.
Encourage activities that build relationships and promote a positive work culture.
A strong community within the team enhances resilience and overall performance.
Case Study:
Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines is a prime example of servant leadership in action.
Under the leadership of Herb Kelleher, the company emphasized the importance of employees and their well-being.
believed that if employees were treated well, they would, in turn, treat customers well.
This focus on serving employees created a positive, resilient company culture that contributed to Southwest’s success and customer loyalty.
Authority on Servant Leadership:
Robert K. Greenleaf
Robert K. Greenleaf is widely recognized as the founder of the servant leadership movement.
His seminal essay, “The Servant as Leader,” published in 1970, laid the foundation for this leadership philosophy.
His work emphasizes the importance of leaders who prioritize serving others, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.

About Jose Pereira
Jose Pereira, a former oil company executive with thirty-five years of experience and the former CEO of Citgo Petroleum, was unjustly detained and held captive in Venezuela as a member of the CITGO6, a group of six Americans employed by Citgo.
His wrongful captivity, based solely on his American nationality, lasted for 1,775 days, from November 21, 2017, to October 1, 2022.
Since returning from his five-year detention, Pereira has reconnected with his family and written his memoir. He stands up for Americans unlawfully detained overseas and strives to modify US laws concerning these crimes.
Pereira continues to leverage his experiences living and working in multiple countries to engender compassion in individuals of all ethnicity and across all cultural and political considerations to bring hostages home.
He empowers others to make positive changes in the world as he works to re-acclimate to society and is passionate about joining his voice with others intent on raising awareness.

It is a riveting account of the events leading up to and during the imprisonment of the CITGO6. Notably,during most of his detainment, Pereira and his wife engaged in a death-defying act reminiscent of Anne Frank secreting her diary from the Nazis. They smuggled letters to each other, which boosted his morale to keep living another day and inspired this book upon release. These carefully written words served as a vital resource for Pereira in outlining his memoir. The determination and bravery embodied by him and his wife in preserving these letters under such punishing duress add a remarkable layer of depth to Pereira’s story.
When you read his accounts, you are there with him in the gritty cell, enduring the agony of fellow prisoners, then finally rejoicing when he hears the news he is going home.
Pereira’s story has since evolved into a movement: changing the narrative of what it takes to bring the wrongfully detained home. This is a work unlike any other. The advent of critical change is making a difference not only in the lives of prisoners; it is transforming global politics around these cases. Sometimes, it is the quietest voice that influences and alters our trajectory. Also in the works: a guidebook providing recommendations to returning detainees to enable their successful reintegration into society — the only publication of its kind.
