As leadership and followership are a synchronous relationship one cannot understand the leadership side without also understanding the followership side. This chapter takes a deep dive into how the role of servant unfolds as the baseline whether one is leader or follower. Servant followership is discussed from the perspective of Robert K. Greenleaf’s adage of the conscious choice to serve and then unpacks how this can be displayed in leadership and/or followership, with servant being the commonality. The motive to serve, the seeking of better times in the making, and the insistence of being led by a servant are all discussed along with understanding the ultimate test, exploring the matter of the heart. Finally, a servant followership definition is provided. The chapter ends with a discussion of the challenges of servant followership.
