Servant Leadership Theory
The researcher believes that the servant leadership is one of the most leadership styles that seek a higher level of humanity and support. Simply, putting others interest first, before your own is enough to clearly see how the servant leader sacrifices his own benefits for the benefits of the group, and that makes follower more comfortable and increases the level of trust in the servant leader (Dirks and Ferrin, 2002 as cited by Kashyab and Rangnekar).
There is no doubt that Paul was a servant leader, the way he grew up and the way he chose his path as a doctor to help other people in need who can’t afford the expenses to treat themselves is a perfect example that’s put Paul in the servant leadership line. Thus, what Paul did was basically
observes what other people need and start from this point in order to help them out, he didn’t start by thinking of his own benefits, he didn’t think how to become this or that, and he didn’t set a goal that satisfies his own interests.
Paul put others first in many situations, as he chose his own path at the beginning upon that. Paul wasn’t sure if should become an anthropologist or a Doctor, but after volunteering in Haiti in a charity which conducted outreach clinics in rural areas, he decided to become a doctor for those people. Paul put other people’s highest priority needs first instead of putting his’s (Greenleaf, 1970 as cited by Rodriguez).
Paul vision was clearly designed to help poor people; however, his vision requires sources and funds. A wealthy donor who gave $1 million was a follower of Paul who helped him to apply his vision and create Partners in Health (PIH). In addition, the committed volunteered were integrate part of Paul’s vision success, as they help him in the organization and keeps his vision moving forward.
The researcher believes that Paul has grown up in a poor family and had a rough life, he doesn’t want anyone to feel the same way he felt. Thus, he dedicated his effort and energy to help people in need to have a better life. Paul had lived in a converted school bus.
In conclusion, Northouse (2016) stated “servant leaders build community to provide a place where people can feel safe and connected with others, but are still allowed to express their individuality” (p. 229).
