C. Jim refrains from engaging in self-serving behaviors that hurt others and focuses on increased service to others rather than to himself.

Explanation:

The servant-leadership model of leadership is a type of leadership style whereby the main focus is service to others rather than service to attain power to manipulate others for selfish or personal gains.

A leader who follows the servant-leadership model of leadership, usually has the growth and development of others in mind, and is usually empathetic, has a listening ear, and is more persuasive rather than using force.

The statement that indicates that Jim is following the servant-leadership model of leadership, is option C, "Jim refrains from engaging in self-serving behaviors that hurt others and focuses on increased service to others rather than to himself".
