Abstract

There is a need for more research on the follower’s perspective of servant leadership. This chapter presents a review of the literature on servant leadership and followership. The aim of the chapter is to determine how servant leadership informs followership. A combination of peer-reviewed articles, practitioner articles, and books constitute the reviewed literature in the chapter. A review of the literature found that following is a way of serving. Further, servant-leaders should produce servant followers. Key concepts that reoccurred in the literature included service, trust, and commitment. Trust is essential to the follower-leader relationship. Trusting leaders empowers followers, which can lead to greater commitment to the organization and to the leader. Finally this review is limited because of the small amount of research reviewed.
