It’s easy to be a power leader. These individuals thrive in downturns of the economy because all they know how to do is cut. They cut budgets, costs and employees. At the same time, they destroy morale, drain resources, explode partnerships and leave a shell of an organization behind.

That being said, could servant leadership offer a new tactic or style even when the need to cut is present? Why or why not?
