什么是仆人式领导？ 释义

仆人式领导（Servant-Leadership）是一种存在于实践中的无私的领导哲学。此类领导者以身作则，乐意成为仆人，以服侍来领导；其领导的结果亦是为了延展其服务功能。 仆人式领导鼓励合作、信任、先见、聆听以及权力的道德用途。 仆人领导不一定取得正式的领导职位。

1970年，美国电话电报公司的CEO在《仆人式领导》（The Servant As Leader）一文中首次提出了“仆人式领导”的概念 。 在文章中，格林里夫对仆人式领导做了如下的描述 ：

仆人式领导首先是仆人， 他怀有服务为先的美好情操。 他用威信与热望来鼓舞人们，确立领导地位。 他与那些为领导而领导者截然不同，他所渴求的恰是缓和那种不同寻常的领导力、削弱对资源的占有。 对于那些以领导为先的领导者来说，在领导地位、威信以及影响力确立之后，或许才能够谈到服务。 领导为先和服务为先是领导哲学的两个极端。 处于它们之间的，则是混杂着的其他各式人类特性。
这两者的区别凸显出仆人领导关心的是服务，是他人的需求是否得到了满足。 测试领导者是否是仆人领导的最好做法——对其本人来说或许也是最难的做法就是， 去考察其服务对象—— 看看他们是否强壮、聪慧、自由、自主，也想成为助人为乐的公仆？ 再看看最为弱势的群体在此领导之下是怎样的境况—— 他们是否也同样获益，或者，至少不再被边缘化，不再被抛弃？

仆人式领导的起源 历史

在世界的东方，古印度的思想家考底利耶（Chanakya/Kautilya）早在写于公元4世纪的名著《政事论》（Arthashastra）中就已经提出： “英明的君王以臣民之乐为乐”。  

在西方，仆人式领导的思想最早可以追溯到耶稣基督，他教导他的门徒说， “你们知道，外邦人有尊为君王者，统治管理他们；有贵为大臣者，操权约束他们。 只是在你们中间，不是这样。 在你们中间，谁愿为大，就必做你们的佣人； 在你们中间，谁愿为首，就必做众人的奴仆。 因为人子来并不是要受人的服侍，乃是要服侍人，並不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命作多人的罪赎。” （马可福音第十章第42-45节）
 

仆人式领导的特征。 品质

根据格林里夫（2003）的研究，仆人式领导有以下10项特征：

1. 聆听（Listening）。 仆人式领导以对方为优先，定意要透过用心聆听， 触及别人的心灵，了解对方的想法和需求。 聆听，并伴以经常性的反思，对仆人式领导来说，非常重要。
2. 同理心（Empathy）。 仆人式领袖尝试了解与同情对方， 关注的不再是个人荣辱得失，乃是接纳与肯定团队内其他成员付出的劳苦，并予以欣赏。
3. 医治（Healing）。 疗伤之道是是仆人式领导的强大武器，能够帮助他们跨越过渡转型、重组整合的各个艰难时期。 仆人式领导的一项强大之力就在于他能够帮助他人以及他自己疗伤，一位经历过伤痛、并已痊愈的领袖正是人们所期待的。
4. 醒觉（Awareness）。 觉醒、尤其是自我醒觉是仆人式领导的另一显著特征，他不会陶醉于过去或现在的成功，他知道有些时候需要被挑战，受搅动，才不会安于现状。
5. 说服（Persuasion）。 仆人式领导不是仗着职权或威信来统御，乃是以“晓之以理，动之以情，析之佐据”的说式，劝服别人认同计划或工作，让人心服口服，而不是勉强为之。
6. 概念化（Conceptualization）。 仆人式领袖敢于发梦，对他来说，再过夸张的梦想亦有成为现实的可能。 尽管他的想象力天马行空，但在处理问题时，却脚踏实地，他能够巧妙地平衡“概念化”的意向与日常事务的现实情境，两者皆为必需。
7. 先见（foresight）。 人非圣贤孰能无过，仆人式领导也会犯错误，但他却能够从实践中不断汲取教训，在行动中做出反思，从而获得对未来行为决策的先见。
8. 管家（Stewardship）。 人们所求于管家的，是要其有衷心。仆人式领导就怀有管家的衷心，为组织内成员服务，为组织所处的社区服务。
9. 委身于他人成长（Commitment to the Growth of People）。 仆人式领导用心帮助组织内的每一位成员成长，使人更强壮、更聪慧、更自由、更自主。
10. 构建社群（Building Community）。 仆人式领导不会“一将功成万骨枯”，他要构建生生不息、基业长存的社群，并工作、服务于其中。

仆人式领导的优势。 优点

• 仆人式领导是一种长期的工作、生活发展变革之道，它更能够激发社群内部的积极变化。
• 仆人式领导常会被拿来与变革型领导（Transformational Leadership）做比较，后者亦重视上下协作。 当二者均显示出对被领导者的深深关心时，仆人式领导更突显其服务特性， 而变革型领导的诉求则是被领导者服务于组织目标。 比较： Appreciative Inquiry[肯定式探询]。 领导重心在组织还是被领导者，是变革型领导与仆人式领导的分水岭。

仆人式领导的局限。 缺点

• 它不是速效药， 不能看到立竿见影的效果。
• 易被视作“软弱”， 听得太多、同理心有余可能会导致优柔寡断、缺少主见。
