The paper examines the leadership practices of principals who are identified as servant leaders, contrasting them with non-servant leaders. Through a Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) analysis of 56 servant leaders and 56 non-servant leaders, significant differences in leadership behaviors are highlighted. The findings suggest that servant leaders are more effective in inspiring, enabling, modeling, challenging, and encouraging their followers, indicating the impact of servant leadership on educational leadership effectiveness.
