The emergence of servant-leadership corresponds with a global turn to spirituality. As such, servant-leadership can be described as a form of counter-spirituality and follows descriptions of systems of liminality, inferiority, and marginality. Robert K. Greenleaf’s religious heritage of Quakerism informed his counter-cultural proposal of servant-leadership. The construct of service as leadership is present in the tenets of many world religions. This chapter, rooted in Max Weber’s and Michael McClymond theories of religious leadership, explores the teachings and examples of service as leadership in five world religions: Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Servant-leadership is presented as the ethical and moral ideal in these five world religions. The chapter concludes with the proposal that servant-leaders, who lead from religious traditions, operate as prophets who model a better way for the world.
