Topic 2: Servant leadership

Definition and origin:It was developed by Robert K. Greenleaf in 1970.

Defined as a management philosophy which implies a comprehensive view of the quality of people, work and community spirit. A servant leader is someone who is servant first, who has responsibility to be in the world, and so he contributes to the well-being of people and communityA servant leader looks to the needs of the people He places his main focus on people.

Autonomy / Selection process / Power

The general concept is ancient.

There are many different supposed origins of the servant leadership model:

1. Chanakya:

wrote, in the 4th century B.C., in his book Arthashastra:the king [leader] shall consider as good, not what pleases himself but what pleases his subjects [followers] the king [leader] is a paid servant and enjoys the resources of the state together with the people.

Autonomy / Selection process / Power

2. JESUS:

Jesus explained his style of servant-leadership in relation to the self-seeking and domineering method of leadership that his followers were used to. Whoever would be first among you must be servant of all. (Mk 10:42-44; Mt 20: 25-28)The one who rules, Jesus taught, should be like the one who serves (Lk 22:26). Jesus washing the feet of the disciples is the classic Christian model of how a leader must be a servant (Jn 13).

Leaders of God's people were most often described as servants of God anointed to do various tasks. Moses was the first to practice servant-leadership.

Autonomy / Selection process / Power

The term of modern Servant Leadership and servant leader were coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in 1970. He coined this phrase in his essay The Servant as Leader.

Greenleaf worked a long time at AT&T and spent most of his career on management studies, management development and management training. He started a career as visiting lecturer and management consultant.

In 1964 he founded the international non-profit foundation named Center of Applied Ethics, which was renamed to The Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership in 1985.

Profile of student leader:Larry C. Spears, who has served as President and CEO of the Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership since 1990, has extracted a set of 10 characteristics that are central to the development of a servant leader:ListeningEmpathyHealingAwarenessPersuasionConceptualizationForesightStewardshipCommitment to the growth of peopleBuilding community

Profile of Student Leader:

Servant-leadership cultivates:Visionary, positive thinking and conceptualizing to see the bigger picture Responsibility for commitments and a hunger for improvementPhysical and intellectual vitality and fitnessCapacity to achieve significant results Service without expectation of any reward from those being servedAppreciation and recognition for the strengths and work of others Ability to lead a balanced life with enjoyment Development of moral, value-based leadership methods

Roles and Responsibilities:

Servant leaders devote themselves: To the needs of organization members To focus on meeting the needs of those they lead To develop employees to bring out the best in them To coach others and encourage their self-expressionTo facilitate personal growth in all who work with them To listen well to build a sense of community and joint ownership

Effective? - the needs of followers are so looked after that they reach their full potential, hence perform at their best. A strength of this way of looking at leadership is that it forces us away from self-serving, domineering leadership and makes those in charge think harder about how to respect, value and motivate people reporting to them.

Roles and Responsibilities

Make sure everyone is part of a team working to the same end.

Make sure people play different roles at different times, according to their expertise and assignment

Leaders recognize that it is better for them to be wounded than for their followers to suffer.

Servant-leadership does not negate accountability or responsibility:

Working Relationship

The servant leader serves the people he/she leads

Servant leadership is meant to replace command and control models of leadership, to be more focused on the needs of others.

Servant-leadership serves others by investing in their development and well being for the benefit of the common good.

Working RelationshipThe extremes of self-serving, domineering leaders and true servant-leaders can be contrasted as follows:

Self-serving LeadershipServanthood LeadershipThe leaders objective is to be served.The leaders objective is to serve.Seeks first to be understood; then, to understand.Seeks first to understand; then, to be understood.Considers self-image, advancement, and entitlements of own position primary.Values followers' potential and achievement; promotes them before self.Sees and treats co-workers as inferiors who usually do not participate in decision-making, nor are offered important information.Sees and treats co-workers with respect as a team that works together to accomplish a task and make decisions with shared information.Creates an atmosphere of dependence using power of position to manipulate and direct.Creates an atmosphere in which others are encouraged and power is used to serve others.Rejects constructive criticism and takes the credit for results.Encourages input and feedback and shares credit for the results.Uses expediency as the main criteria; makes decisions in secret from ones own view of truth and wisdom.Uses biblical and moral principles as the main criteria; makes decisions openly and in consultation.Is accountable only to superiors and shuns personal evaluations as interference.Is accountable to God and others and welcomes personal evaluations as a means to improve performance.Clings to power and position.Is willing to step aside for someone more qualified.37Application of theories: Serving othersFor example: In tennis Taking out and keeping the equipment (tennis balls, rackets, shoes) before and after each training session without being asked to or prompted. Buying drinks for the team Helping to pick up the tennis balls even though it isnt your responsibility

In other areas: Being able to listen to feedback from fellow CCA membersEncouraging others and building your friends up together as a CCA bodyLooking for ways to improve the CCA for everyone (eg. Organizing outings for team bonding, etc.)Recognizing peoples contribution both on and behind the scenes. Topic 3: kennedy space station
