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.
