Defend or refute: Servant leadership should be conceptualized as a behavior rather than a trait.
What will be an ideal response?
If conceptualized as a behavior, servant leadership can be learned and is available to everyone. Liden et al.'s research identifies seven specific behaviors that individuals can develop to become servant leaders. If conceptualized as a trait, servant leadership appears to be reserved for only a special few who exhibit this trait. A trait perspective lends credence to those who argue that certain people are “called” to be leaders.
