  17. Servant Leadership

  18. “The case for servant Leadership” • By: Kent M. Keith • Justin McClure 00’ Management (Smeal)

  19. Has anyone heard of “servant-leadship” • “Serving others is a fundamental , universal human value” K. Keith

  20. I wish it wasn’t so Hard…

  21. Where did it start? Jesus Christ, George Washington, Martin Luther King, Mother Thersa, Nelson Mandela, Joe Paterno

  22. A Servant-leaders mission is to identify and meet the needs of others; hence acts in response to the way others are treated, not in response to the way he or she is treated.

  23. Key practices • Self-awareness • Listening • Changing the Pyramid • Developing Your Colleagues (classmates) • Coaching, not controlling • Unleashing the Energy and Intelligence of Others • Foresight • “Organizations led by servant-leaders are more likely to generate both success and significance-both bottom line results and the meaning that comes from generosity, service, and loving relationships.” K. Blanchard

  24. Some organizations that believe in Servant Leadership • AT&T Greenleaf worked here for 38 years • Schneider Corporation “Engineering, surveying, and geographical information systems • Synovus Financial Corporation • TDIndustries “Large Mechanical Contractor” • Southwest Airlines • Kroger Grocery

  25. Why consider servant-leadership • A better way? Let’s debate… • “A Servant Leader is audacious enough to put other’s needs ahead of herself/himself with no need to limit themselves with expectation’s and agenda’s. They lead with actions to build community regardless of recourse or trends. They suppress “the ego” and gain confidence in Love, Faith, and Vulnerability. Servant Leaders are not weak and/or push-overs but some of the most courageous women and men sacrificing, to be a pillars for a better tomorrow.” J. McClure
