Personal Model of Leadership

Personal Model of Leadership Student’s Name Institution Date How my model of leadership can be applied in my professional setting My model of leadership is significantly associated with servant leadership. In this type of leadership, the leader mainly focuses on the development and well-being of all employees within an institution (O'Brien, 2010). The servant leader shares their power places the needs of other people first and assists other employees in the workplace to develop and perform as efficiently as possible.
