Criticisms
Because servant leadership appears contradictory, it
may be seen as whimsical or moralizing, or not really
“leadership.”
Researchers are unable to reach consensus on a
common definition or theoretical framework for SL.
It’s an incomplete theory because it doesn’t include
other principles of leadership such as directing,
concern for production, etc.
Not enough research has been done to confirm the
outcomes predicted by the theory.
