According to Green, servant leadership has many benefits and varying costs. The technique is powerful for knowledge-based businesses since it boosts staff work engagement, productivity, commitment, satisfaction and attitude, and ethical behavior. A study on nurses showed that servant leadership improved satisfaction and helped create a positive organizational climate, mitigating any turnovers (Ferreira et al., 2022). It has also shown to improve patient satisfaction and quality of care. However, implementing any leadership is associated with risk, time, and energy, and servant leadership can be expensive. Non-professional leadership approaches offer fast results for businesses and reduce the appeal for servant leadership (Gren, 2022). Just now, businesses will choose to integrate servant leadership first.

The idea of servant leadership can be integrated into nursing and professional practice in different ways. Martin and colleagues emphasized open communication and the nurse acting as a teacher in shared decision-making (Blanchard et al., 2017). The medicine model, servant leadership, is patient-centered and a model of care delivery.

Servant leadership can be employed as a healthcare professional to address social determinants of health. Servant leadership enhances trust among healthcare workers, clients, and families. This trust is an essential tool for addressing the inevitable ethical dilemmas and conflicts arising in healthcare. According to Hardbone et al. (2017), servant-leader's acknowledge and solves clients' and families' challenges before arriving at treatment. Also, they are effective partners in making shared and morally acceptable decisions. The servant nurse model needs capacity, exertion, and time; however, it offers patients the ability, knowledge, and information that they can use to make informed decisions (Perry et al., 2019). From this context, servant leadership can be used to address social health determinants. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2022), a social determinant of healthcare includes governmental policies, traffic-environment, school food availability, space and violence, residential environment, social support, healthcare access, and economic stability.
