Hi all,

I am currently working on my Master’s thesis, conducting research on the impact of Servant Leadership on work engagement in Agile teams.

To explore this, I have designed a short survey (just 2.5 minutes on average!) that evaluates Servant Leadership behaviours from the team member’s perspective and their engagement at work.

If you work in an Agile environment, your input would be invaluable!

The survey is quick, straightforward, and your participation will make a huge difference!

Feel free to share with your network. Every response counts!

A big thank you to everyone who takes the time to contribute!

Just for your reference, they have removed "servant-leader" from a Scrum guide at 2020. Changed to the "true leader"

General Agile literature can still refers to the concept of a servant-leader, but the Scrum Guide changed in Nov 2020 to refer to a   "leader that serves the team and organisation". Although the real meaning did not change, the new wording allows for better interpretation in my opinion.
