If we bring in a servant leader to our organization, won’t the other people around them just run over them?

Like was said about President Lincoln, Servant Leaders are made of both velvet and steel. They know how to treat people with respect, but they are like steel when it comes to their resolve to be committed to long term goals of the organization. They do the right things in the right way at the right time with the right attitude. They maintain the necessary tension between nurturing healthy relationships and leading innovative change for the future.
