Abstract

Several businesses from varied industries had gone through or may be still going through enormous challenges and difficulties due to the unbidden visitant Covid – 19. Top management changed the conventional way of thinking and decision making to stay afloat in the market and they realized that it was a real litmus test for them. A proper contemplative understanding of business is required as far as the leadership is concerned. The term globalization got a brand new impression called ‘glocalization’. Now it is considered as a fact that any organization which will eventually understand the term ‘glocalization’ better, the chance of achieving sustainability irrespective of any situation would be more. Due to sudden changes in business environment the relevance of servant leader has become more prominent. Robert Greenleaf explained the concept of servant leadership in one essay and after that various theorists contributed towards the body of knowledge. As a servant leader, someone focuses on the needs of others and prioritize preferences of team members. A servant leader acknowledges the perspective of others and provides them complete supports to meet the personal and professional goals. Such form of leadership helps to form ‘sense of community’ inside the team. This ultimately helps to build strong relationship among stakeholders. Several research works suggest that it is a form of democratic or transformational leadership and often considered as one of the most effective and efficient leadership styles in any business situation. Researchers reviewed various literatures from different contexts to find the relevance of servant leadership in this unprecedented business and economic situation.
