The Servant Leadership approach was inspired by Herman Hesse's, Journey to the East, where he recounts the story of a band of men on a journey, accompanied by their servant, Leo. Leo is tasked with completing basic chores, while ensuring the group stays motivated and in good spirits through his engaging personality. Leo suddenly disappears and the group quickly loses track of their journey and abandons the task altogether. In consideration of this story, describe the fundamental message (thesis) of Journey to the East and how it relates to Servant Leadership. In support of this theory, outline at least 3 components of the Model of Servant Leadership illustrated in this story.
