title: The radiology manager as a servant leader.
abstract: Servant leadership utilizes an alternative approach to power-based models by considering the needs of followers and collaborating with them to achieve organizational goals,which can generate higher staff satisfaction and promote a more positive working environment. Servant leadership principles include: listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people,and community building. Many researchers have addressed the need for healthcare organizations to adopt a servant leadership model because healthcare has an inherent servant nature.
