The modern world needs a new type of leader who develops a vision of the future for his / her followers and encourages them to be ready for it. These leaders ensure changes, they are not focused that much on the behavior of their followers / subordinates and on controlling their behavior. On the contrary, they are focused on the development of initiative and support becoming the servants of those they have to lead. The concept of servant l eadership is derived from the ideas of Robert K. Greenleaf. As R. Greenleaf states, it all starts with a natural urge – the desire to serve. The motto of this thought is "A good leader is primarily a servant". The task of the leader is to achieve common goals by ensuring the well-being of followers and subordinates. Servant leadership is an attempt to become better, to become the person others would gladly follow. Such an idealistic vision of a leader as a servant is fruitful and is paid off even in a very competitive business world. A servant leader builds an organized and creative team, and this type of leadership involves the development of organizational culture which demonstrates a high level of trust. Being a servant leader means to help people overcome obstacles and get the tools and resources they need to perform better; to be an example; to facilitate the work of others; to be willing to do what others do. This model of leadership implies a "flattening" of hierarchies: a boss is a friend who listens to those who are with him/her rather than a person who decides what is best for them. This type of leadership has the powerful potential in today’s globalized world. The article aims to analyze the concept of servant leadership. The authors have used an interpretive research paradigm and multidisciplinary analysis.

Abstrak: Proses pembelajaran materi Agama Islam di Indonesia mendapatkan peringatan dari hasil riset PPIM yang menunjukkan adanya pengaruh pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam menumbuhkan sikap intoleransi. Ini berarti proses pembelajaran materi ajaran Islam didorong untuk melakukan perubahan metode atau bahkan materinya agar sikap intoleransi tidak lagi menjadi hasil dari pembelajarannya. Paper ini bertujuan mengajukan model pembelajaran materi ajaran Islam, melalui pembelajaran Tauhid, yang dapat mendorong munculnya sikap Servant-Leadership dan perilaku khidmat (prosocial behavior). Sikap Servant-Leadership(dalam arti pemimpin yang melayani) dan khidmat (perilaku prososial dalam melayani orang lain) dianggap dapat menjadi jembatan bagi munculnya sikap toleransi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode Research and Development (R&D) terhadap 208 Mahasiswa semester pertama Fakultas Ushuludin UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung tahun ajaran 2017-2018. Untuk mengukur peneladanan digunakan Skala yang dimodiifkasi dari CPI (Celebrity Personal Identification) dari Brown Bocarnea, kuesioner Servant Leadership diadaptasikan dari Liden, dan  kuesioner khidmat menggunakan pengukuran dari Nickell, G. “The Helping Attitudes Scale”. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peneladanan terhadap Nabi Muhammad saw berpengaruh pada sikap servant-leadership, namun tidak berpengaruh pada sikap khidmat (prososial behavior).  Implementasi dari riset ini dapat menjadi pijakan bagi penemuan motode pengajaran materi ajaran Islam. Kata Kunci: pembelajaran Tauhid, teologi, peneladanan, khidmat, servant-leader, manajemen. Abstract: The learning process of Islamic material in Indonesia received a warning from the results of PPIM research that showed the influence of Islamic Religious Education lessons in fostering intolerance. This means that the learning process of Islamic teaching materials is encouraged to change the method or even the material so that the attitude of intolerance is no longer the result of learning. This paper aims to propose a model of learning Islamic teaching material, through monotheism learning, which can encourage the emergence of Servant-Leadership attitudes and solemn behavior (prosocial behavior). Servant-Leadership attitude (in the sense of a leader who serves) and solemn (prosocial behavior in serving others) is considered to be a bridge for the emergence of tolerance. The study was conducted by the Research and Development (R&D) method of 208 first semester students of the Ushuludin Faculty of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung in the 2017-2018 school year. To measure the model, a modified MMI (Celebrity Personal Identification) CPI (Brown Bocarnea) model was used, the Servant Leadership questionnaire was adapted from Liden, and the solemn questionnaire used measurements from Nickell, G. "The Helping Attitudes Scale." The results showed that the example of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) affected servant-leadership attitudes, but did not affect the solemn attitude (prosocial behavior). The implementation of this research can be the basis for the discovery of methods of teaching Islamic teaching materials. Keywords: Monotheism learning, theology, modeling, solemnity, servant-leader, management

Servant leadership is a model of leadership based on ethics and benevolent service to others and has been associated with numerous positive outcomes for employees and organizations. Due to a limited number of studies examining servant leadership (SL) within sport, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relation of servant leadership and leader effectiveness outcomes in sport administration and to examine if political skill (i.e., how people influence others), was a moderator of servant leader effectiveness. A multilevel model was used to examine these questions within a sample of interscholastic athletic directors and head coaches. Findings revealed servant leadership was directly related to leader effectiveness (LE), affective organizational commitment (AOC), and job satisfaction (JS) of head coaches. Moreover, there was a significant negative interaction between servant leadership and political skill. The negative interaction may indicate that extreme values of servant leadership have opposite relations to leader effectiveness and other outcomes when political skill is present. Though a minimal effect, political skill detracts from LE in those who are perceived as exhibiting strong servant leader behaviors. Findings and limitations are discussed; questions for future research are suggested.

This study challenges the claim that Jesus is the archetypical servant leader as described in contemporary leadership literature. Based on a theological reading of the Fourth Gospel, the paper suggests that, as a servant, Jesus cannot be understood apart from his mission and obedience to God. Consequently, Jesus was not primarily a servant leader but rather the Son who was sent to the world to enact the Father’s will. In this regard, the Fourth Gospel provides a unique perspective that is barely noted in the current discourse on servant leadership modelled on the example of Christ. Although certain aspects of servant leadership theory correspond to John’s portrayal of Jesus, the study concludes that other descriptions of him as a servant leader suffer from a one-sided and reductionist Christology. Implications of this view for Christian ministry are briefly sketched out.
