interview with Kurt Uhlir on servant leadership

A good principal who maintains a servant leadership style will be committed to individual and organizational success and keeps the attention on the future needs of the district. He or she will do this by setting priorities, having a plan, and then having the willingness to act in an unencumbered manner when the time comes to make those changes. They are usually quite personable and are not afraid to get into conflicts if it will help solve the problems at hand. These leaders are also willing to share responsibility for reaching the goals of the district and for finding ways to implement solutions that are necessary. While they may not be great at planning, they are very methodical in their decision-making.

Of course, these traits are not limited to being great leaders, they can also be good managers. What makes them effective managers is their ability to delegate responsibilities and the ability to understand how others think. These are qualities that are inherent to all people, regardless of background. However, as schools are designed to create a learning environment where learning occurs simultaneously, it is crucial to have great servant leaders available who possess those traits and who can effectively lead in the learning environment. The best leaders are not afraid to take risks, they are not afraid to take the initiative, and they are great at taking charge in difficult situations.
