Servant leadership is often based on Christian principles, although this is not required. It is a leadership concept that is designed to show that a leader can be a steward for the company, lead by example, help others, and not have to use any of the more 'heavy handed' leadership styles. While the servant leadership style is more often employed by women, men are becoming increasing more aware of (and more interested in) this particular style, because it seems to work well. The easiest way to show what servant leadership is would be to discuss the work of Stephen Covey, as he advocates this style in "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and many other books.
Even though Stephen Covey is seen by many to be extremely important when it comes to management and effective individuals Covey himself appears to be somewhat scattered and disorganized. This is not actually true but Covey is simply extremely busy and spends so much time working that many of his associates and other individuals do not understand how he can keep up such a frantic pace. He has built a very strong business and most of it lies on the idea of moral transformation. This is one of the main things that Covey discusses in many different ways throughout the books that he has written, and it is also seen in many other discussion of the servant leadership style. This applies to not only individuals but to businesses, families, and others that are interested in learning more about themselves and how to be more effective in life. This effectiveness is something that is definitely needed when it comes to aviation weather services, because right now there are still problems that are being seen. Whether the FAA can take care of and correct these remains to be seen, but it is not likely that the difficulties will be corrected if the FAA has the same old style of leadership that has been used by all sorts of companies for years.

(2) Analyzing all accident data without regard to the type of airframe provides for an easy sampling and less potential bias toward fixed wing vs. rotary wing aircraft. (3) Not including ground accidents into the research will allow the research to focus only on aviation accidents. (4) Limiting the research to a four-year period; 2003 to 2006 will provide an adequate sampling of the data and not constrain the research results. Assumptions First Assumption The
Recommendations With regards to improving the prospects for the Gray Eagle, the United States Army must apply the core principles of CRM to its operations.

In this regard, Selzer notes that, "Pan American World Airways was a great carrier and a foremost representative of the American way around the world. Its triumphs were one of the major reasons why English is the primary language spoken in air-traffic control towers throughout the globe" (p. 20). Notwithstanding these early successes, by the late 1980s, though, Pan American was experienced serious financial trouble and sought relief through wage
