Abstract:
Economic development is the goal of every country. Economic development is not just about the increase in production of goods and services from year to year, but more than that. Economic development measures all changes that occur in terms of economy, education, technology, health, infrastructure, as well as prosperity or the welfare of society. Economic development model of Ibn Khaldun explained that economic development will not be achieved without the role of government as a leader. Servant Leadership is a leadership model that prioritizes service to other parties, either to employees (members) of the company, customers, or to the community. Using descriptive qualitative methods and data source from previous theories and research, this study intends to discuss the role of servant leadership to the economic development of a country. This study found that leadership with servant leadership model is very capable to encourage the achievement of economic development. This is because th
e leader with servant leadership model will be more concerned with the interests of subordinates or the community compared to their own interests so the welfare of society and economic development will be achieved properly.
