I find the idea of servant leadership is very interesting. I thought it was very interesting that Greenleaf said a servant leader must start out a a servant then come into a position of leadership. This brings into question of a servant becomes a leader. I think a servant starts as serving and becomes an example for people and gain a following. They show others how to serve and share their goals with their followers.
I also found it interesting to look at the list of characteristics of a servant leadership compared to the list of charismatic leadership qualities. Both mention the idea of listening to their audience. Listening in regards to a servant leader involve growth of them selves and their followers. Where as a charismatic leader listens to their audience more so by reading it and adapting to it. Both use veriations of persuasion, foresight and many other similar qualities with their audiences. This makes me wonder is a person can be both a charismatic leader as well as a servant leader.
I agree that it is clear many of the characteristic s of a charismatic overlap with the servant leader traits. I think that one can be both charismatic and a servant leader, but a servant leader most likely holds more humility and a lesser chance off becoming toxic due. For example, the ability to listen for a charismatic is to please and manipulate the audience. But, for a servant leader listening is to meet their needs and help them grow.
