This study gathered lived experiences of 15 organizational leaders who practice
the servant leadership philosophy, and explored how business leaders link their servant leadership
practices to their organization’s effectiveness. The qualitative responses obtained during this study
indicated that the perceived organizational barriers that prevent the servant leadership practices are
the organization’s culture, the fear of change, and the lack of knowledge regarding the servant
leadership philosophy.
