In Northouse's (2021) treatment ofFollowershipandServant Leadership, the underlying argument is that leadership is not solely about positional authority but about reciprocal relationships and an ethic of care. Robert Greenleaf's (1977) original framing of servant leadership argued that "the servant-leader is servant first" (p. 13), suggesting that the primary obligation of leaders is to meet the needs of their people before advancing organizational interests.

Can you please speak more about why this is so interesting and how much I learned?
