Servant leadership and health care professionals’ goals align well because health care professionals’ duty is to serve patients. Ethical and moral values of servant leadership ask health care provider to consider patients’ needs first. Servant leadership skills build positive relation between patient and provider which in turn improves patient and provider relationship. Servant leadership improves quality, safety and patient care which in turn improves organizations’ outcome. Servant leaders listen to their patients and advocate for them because they care for their patients. Servant leaders take interest in patient safety, their quality of care and adequate nursing staffing, and coaching new nurses (Sfantou et al., 2017; Trastek, Hamilton & Niles, 2014).
