I want to reproblematise the word ‘leadership’ here. The phrase ‘servant leadership’ is actually a paradigm shift away from classic ‘out-the-front’ ‘the-boss-knows-best’ ‘dominate-others’ leadership.

What the author is missing is parallelisation. By definition in systems of clear one person in charge leadership the work bottlenecks and power centralises, hard.

In models of servant leadership, it’s possible for multiple people to bring leadership and leadership skills all at once.

In a group of a dozen or more people, huge bottlenecks and ego power crap are resolved as multiple people can bring servant leadership.

It’s single core vs parallel, in the later leadership can then come from all participants, even the very young and vulnerable involved in the group can learn to do this.

The emphasis is on skill sharing and being of service OVER power hoarding.
