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.

Greenleaf in 1970 with the publication of his classic essay, The Servant as Leader. It was in that essay that he coined the words servant-leader and servant leadership.. Greenleaf defined the servant-leader as follows: The servant-leader is servant first... It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead.
