Here, in the history of the Quakers, are the clues to why servant-leadership, while highly effective, has not proved popular: 1  First, it is not a set of tools and techniques or principles that can be a adopted and implemented; it is a set of practices that have to be learned through doing. 2  That takes commitment.
Highly effective, remarkable leaders must be continuous, lifelong learners. There are at least four reasons why I believe this is true: the complexity of leadership, the nature of change, the role of leaders to model for others and the overall source of leadership. Let me explain. Leadership is a complex endeavor. Humans are complex, and a leader is dealing with more than just his or her own complexities. They are tasked with understanding the complexity of human behavior and interactions across many people. When we put it this way, the role can seem daunting.
