Abstract: Servant leadership and competence can contribute to the maximum empowering of the employee. The study aimed to determine the effect of the servant leadership and competence on the performance of 232 civil servants of the Tourism Office in the Lake Toba region. With the Slovin formula, the sample population in this study became 147 employees. The study results show that the servant leadership has a partial influence on employee performance; competence also has a partial influence on employee performance. Simultaneously, the servant leadership and competence influence employee performance. Moreover, the multiple regression equation results show that the servant leadership has the most significant coefficient on employees compared to competence
