Although there is a scarcity of specific research on leadership principles and practices and the community/mental health/clinical counseling profession at the agency level, a number of leadership theories can be related and applied to the counseling practice. Leadership is defined as a process that is established and implemented by a group of individuals working together to achieve a common goal. One prominent theory of followership as it relates to leadership is the leader-member exchange (LMX) theory. Although the focus of servant leadership appears to be on the leader and leader behavior, the perceived outcomes of servant leadership include follower performance and growth, organizational performance, and societal impact. The nature of the mental health field is one of multiple constituencies working together to promote the well-being and mental health of individuals and communities, and the process of leadership is a natural fit for implementation in professional practice.
