Abstract: In business today, the term “Leadership” is gaining considerable attention in the various work fields ranging from education, politics, governmental organizations, religious sanctuary, and medical centers … In their nature, humans are likely to have leader-follower relations; mainly, an insightful person with a better vision is likely to lead the group while the other group members who lack the clear vision and plan are likely to be followers. They follow since they trust and believe that their leader is capable of helping them survive in the various domains. Therefore, a definition of the term Leadership differs in relation to context, origin, styles, and implications, yet what is universally agreed on is the common need for servant leaders; those with the sharp vision who can strive for greatness in the economy, communities, and lives. In this article, the aim was to analyze the effect of servant leadership on organizational productivity among bank employees in Lebanon. The results showed the servant leadership is highly recognized by employees especially in the complex organizational structure of banks.
