Servant leadership: built upon a beautifully simple idea. True leadership can only be granted by followers when they recognize that the leader is acting as a servant to the needs and motivations of those being led (lojeski, p. 26) In virtual configurations: teams function more effectively when leadership is conferred by contributions an individual makes to team mission rather than by authority.
