Management scholars no longer view economic capital as the primary factor in achieving sustainable competitive advantage for organizations. Rather, the human resource has become the most important element to achieve this advantage. Therefore, this prompted the institutions to adopt leadership styles that enhance the meanings of subordinate service, taking care of them as the main pillar in providing services, working to empower them by giving them responsibility for decision-making and a degree of independence and discretion, with engaging them as solutions to address fundamental problems in the provision of services and restore them when necessary to meet customers' needs and requirements and different expectations.
