Robert K. Greenleaf expounded this idea in a 1970 essay, titled "The Servant as Leader." As explained by Greenleaf, ‘Servant-leadership emphasizes increased service to others, a holistic approach to work, promoting a sense of community, and the sharing of power in decision making. The words servant and leader are usually thought of as being opposites. When two opposites are brought together in a creative and meaningful way, a paradox emerges. So the words servant and leader have been brought together to create the paradoxical idea of servant-leadership.’
