Servant leadership
Project Management Professional glossary · Project Management Professional
Definition
An approach in which the leader serves the team by removing impediments, shielding it from disruption, facilitating rather than deciding, and developing people.
Servant leadership in plain English
Imagine a kitchen that plates food every two weeks: the menu (backlog) gets clarified before cooking, the chefs only commit to what fits the shift, and the plate doesn't leave until it meets a shared "done" checklist. Servant leadership is one of the rules that keeps that kitchen from chaos. Hold onto this precise job description: An approach in which the leader serves the team by removing impediments, shielding it from disruption, facilitating rather than deciding, and developing people. On a stem, name whether Servant leadership is about timing, ownership, measurement, or delivery style — then eliminate the answer that borrows a cousin concept from the wrong phase.
