Responding to complex emergencies such as natural disasters can have a significant impact on servant leaders such as a commitment to the growth of people. After responding to emergency servant leaders may therefore be caught up in the idea of providing aid to the communities that are affected by emergencies such as earthquakes and forget an important element of servant leadership which is a commitment to the growth of people (Saleem et al., 2020). When responding to complex emergencies service leaders need to establish a balance between providing instant aid and help to communities and being involved in capacity development in the targeted communities and promoting the intrinsic value of the communities affected by emergencies (Brohi et al., 2018). Communities can be able to build resilience for emergencies such as disasters if they are given an opportunity to grow and learn how to support themselves (YTminusTime, 2020).
As a servant leader, explain the balance between capacity-building and supporting the local community
As a servant leader, it’s important to establish a balance between capacity building and supporting the local community, especially during complex emergencies and disasters. Servant leaders should therefore seek to utilize their resources to build capacity in a way that allows local communities to support themselves and build resilience towards certain challenges such as hunger and natural calamities such as earthquakes (Saleem et al., 2020).
