Healer - Servant leaders have the ability to 'heal' themselves and their followers through creating a sense of well-being.

Persuasion - Servant leaders influence others through persuasion rather than through exercise of authority or coercion.
Foresight - Servant leaders have the ability to foresee consequences of events or actions involving their organization and its members.
Conceptualization - They can conceptualize their vision and goals into strategies and objects that serve the organization and its members.
Stewardship - They are stewards, which means they view their position as having a care taking responsibility over their organization and members as opposed to dominion over them.
