This work from online source underlines the need to have moral love to attain the efficacy in servant leadership. Poon (2006) believes that a servant leader should have the broad mindedness to see people as 'hired hearts' and not as 'hired hands.' He should be humble enough to accept that there is a lot to learn from the surroundings. He should develop awareness about himself. He must be conscious of what he has done, and what he has felt and why he has done. He should have the authenticity to speak and act upon the event. Integrity and trust follow such a leader.

For the efficacy, the servant leaders must have the Will to inspire, empower and motivate their followers. This work is very reliable source to study the efficacy of servant leadership.
