Awareness

A servant leader has great awareness. They understand what is going on around them at all times. They are always searching for information and asking questions to make sure that they understand all that they can. This awareness gives them power as they are unlikely to be misled. Being aware of situations is one thing but a servant leader must also be self-aware. Understanding ones self and the perception of self is an important part of servant leadership. The servant leader must be aware of his or her reactions and emotions in all situations and encounters.
