Servant leaders demonstrate humility by putting their own accomplishments and talents in perspective, acknowledging that they can benefit from the expertise of others, and by actively seeking out contributions of followers (van Dierendonck, 2011). Servant leaders put their followers’ interests first, provide them with support, and facilitate their followers’ performance. Servant leaders also demonstrate humility by not taking sole credit when a task has been successfully accomplished (van Dierendonck, 2011). Furthermore, servant leaders create an environment of interpersonal acceptance in which followers feel safe. They create trusting relationships so that followers are able to make mistakes and still feel they will be accepted. Servant leaders also understand another person’sperspective and are able to “walk in another’s shoes.” Servant leaders demonstrate compassion and show empathy and forgiveness even when confronted with arguments, personal offences, or mistakes (van Dierendonck & Patterson, 2015).
