Summary:Gender and religion are two critical factors that have a strong influence on people’s lives. These two forces have a bearing on various facets of social life including the area of leadership. This paper seeks to examine the gendered nature and religious influences on women’s leadership practices in general and specifically on the concept of servant leadership.

Amongst these emerging perspectives with a strong religions fervour is the notion of servant leadership.
