Abstract

This research explores the role of servant leadership in enhancing employee development and talent management within organizations. Employing a qualitative approach, the study gathered insights through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with employees and leaders across diverse industries. Findings indicate that servant leadership significantly influences employee motivation, engagement, and professional growth. Participants reported that supportive and empathetic leadership fosters a culture of continuous learning and development, leading to improved job satisfaction and alignment between individual and organizational goals. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of mentorship and tailored development plans in nurturing talent. These insights contribute to the existing literature on servant leadership, providing practical implications for organizations seeking to enhance their leadership practices. The research underscores the necessity of cultivating servant leadership qualities to create a more engaged and productive workforce in the modern workplace. Limitations and avenues for future research are also discussed, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of servant leadership's long-term effects on employee outcomes.
