“THE CASE FOR SERVANT LEADERSHIP”
By: Kent M. Keith
Justin McClure 00’ Management (Smeal)
“Serving others is a
fundamental ,
universal human
value” K. Keith
I WISH IT WASN’T SO HARD…
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.
KEY PRACTICES
1. Self-awareness
2. Listening
3. Changing the Pyramid
4. Developing Your Colleagues (classmates)
5. Coaching, not controlling
6. Unleashing the Energy and Intelligence of Others
7. 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
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
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
