Need for Servant Leadership in the Public Sector Introduction Leadership plays a significant role in determining the success or the failure of any organization. Effective leadership in an organization ensures that employees remain focused on the achievement of the organizational goals and objectives. However, a recent Gallup study has revealed that the current image of leadership could be missing something. Results from the study revealed that out of four employees, only one employee believes that they are served with meaningful feedback from their leadership. The results also show that only twenty-one percent of employees confirm that they are managed in a manner that supports them to do an outstanding job. In most cases, employees are not allowed to participate in the running of the organization, for example, through decision making.

The lack of interactions between the leadership and the…

This shows that the Lenski model explains that culture and nature are related through technology. This explains the different cultures of human beings from hunting and gathering to the current culture nowadays. The hunting and gathering…
