The nature of "Servant leadership"

Abstract

　In the previous article, the author discussed the need to transform Japan's "vertical society," in which leaders are often the only ones who solve problems, into a "horizontal society" in which everyone can think together in a flat "horizontal" relationship and proposed the introduction of "servant leadership" as a powerful method. However, this is not an easy task. This is because "servant leadership" originally comes from Christianity, and its nature cannot be understood without an understanding of Christianity.

　In this article, I will attempt to understand "servant leadership" from a Christian perspective. By doing so, I hope to clarify its nature.
