Overview: "According to Larry C. Spears, former president of the Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, there are 10 most important characteristics of servant leaders, including committment to the growth of people. Servant leaders are committed to the personal and professional development of everyone on their teams. To develop your people , make sure that you use Training Needs Assessments  to understand their developmental needs  and give them the skills they need to do their jobs effectively. Also, find out what their personal goals are, and see if you can give them projects or additional responsibilities that will help them achieve these."
