Explanation
A servant leader prioritizes the growth and effectiveness of the team over exercising authority. Mentoring - sharing knowledge and experience - builds team competence, reduces dependency on the leader, and helps team members resolve challenges independently, thereby cutting distractions and improving flow. Managing (A) and Controlling (C) are command-and-control behaviors that contradict the servant leadership model, which avoids directing and enforcing compliance. Auditing (D) is an organizational governance function, not a servant leadership behavior. The servant leader enables the team to succeed rather than directing or policing them.
