Ruben and I have been friends for awhile. I knew his mother was ill and when she died I offered prayers of comfort for his loss. What I did not know was how his mother died. I was sorry I hadn't moved in closer to him at that time of his life. He talks about that time with me today, seeming to be in what I felt is a place of calm peace over the loss. That does not mean he is no longer grieving. approx 10:23-He mentioned the 'stairway of grief', where he and his siblings would go to cry together. He mentioned that 'grief is the cost of love'. Ruben's story is important, thoughtful and loving for his mother. approx 32:00-Ruben shows us how to have 'a celebration while living'. In our pre-interview, Ruben mentioned the book "Our Greatest Gift: A Meditation on Dying and Caring", by Henri Nouwen. Ruben also mentioned the book by Robert K. Greenleaf, "The Servant Leader".Thanks Ruben!!!! Listen and read my blog: https://whilewerestillhere.com and https://grimtea.comStarting with Episode 56, the episode music was added.

As the great John C. Maxwell once said, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." This quote encapsulates the essence of true leadership – the ability to not only envision a better future but also to inspire others to join you on that path.In today's rapidly evolving world, we face challenges that require innovative solutions and a new approach to leadership. It is no longer enough for leaders to maintain the status quo. Instead, they must pave the way for a brighter tomorrow by setting new benchmarks in their respective fields.Leadership is about having the courage to make bold decisions, take calculated risks, and embrace change. The legendary Nelson Mandela once said, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." As leaders, we must face our fears and rise above them to create a world that reflects our highest aspirations.The world is hungry for leaders who are not only proficient in their fields but also possess a strong moral compass. Leaders who embody empathy, integrity, and compassion. These qualities, when combined with a relentless pursuit of excellence, create a new standard for leadership that will elevate society to new heights.As Mahatma Gandhi once stated, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." We must embrace the responsibility of leading by example, demonstrating that ethical behavior and steadfast determination can coexist. In doing so, we will inspire others to follow suit and create a ripple effect of positive change.So, how can we become the trailblazing leaders who set new standards?First, we must cultivate a growth mindset. Carol Dweck, a renowned psychologist, said, "In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point." Embrace the idea that you can always learn, adapt, and improve.Second, practice servant leadership. Robert K. Greenleaf, the founder of the servant leadership movement, described it as, "The servant-leader is servant first... It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first." By prioritizing the needs of others and empowering your team to succeed, you demonstrate a level of leadership that sets new standards.Third, embrace diversity and inclusion. As the brilliant Maya Angelou said, "In diversity, there is beauty and there is strength." By fostering an environment that values different perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas, we create a fertile ground for innovation and progress.Lastly, never forget the importance of self-reflection and personal growth. The legendary Socrates once declared, "An unexamined life is not worth living." Make time for introspection, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, and continuously strive for self-improvement.

Greetings, Leaders!  "Servant-Leadership" is an aspiration of many great leaders. Over hundreds of years, service to others is one key factor that distinguishes a person consistently in their life and career journey. Robert K. Greenleaf coined the term servant leader in his 1970 essay "The Servant as Leader."  In the essay, he shares that the servant leader "focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong." Robert K. Greenleaf   While in training, a group of promising leaders began to argue about who would be the greatest in the future. Their wise training leader asked, "Who among you wishes to be great?" Then shares this insight. "Let that person become a servant to all." Think about any great leader who impacts your life. When you assess how they affected you, you will likely discover a mindset of focusing on your success.   "Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy." Jim Rohn  James Strock shares this insight in his book, Serve to Lead 2.0, 21st Century Leaders Manual. "When your ultimate concern is those you're serving, your vantage point necessarily is from the outside in, not the inside out." James Strock   A senior leader encourages me during a global team meeting with this perspective, "We are all here in service to others. Challenge yourself by stepping into something uncomfortable, reimagine, and transform with speed." IBM Leader Ask yourself, "Who am I serving? Someone has said, "Getting this question right is the indispensable first step to extraordinary, transformational leadership." Our rewards in life are proportional to our service to others. "You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."  Zig Ziglar  Think. One of the critical questions that will help guide our transformational journey is to ask ourselves, throughout our life and career, day by day, "Who am I Serving?  History shows that individuals can access untold capabilities in themselves by focusing their gifts, talents, skills, and abilities on serving others. Reflect on a moment when you were in servant leadership mindset. Who were you serving at your peak performance or accomplishment?Was it a cause, person, or calling? Are you performing at peak performance now?  If not, what is holding you back?  What specific steps can you take to reach peak performance again? Where do you see others performing at a high level?  What can we learn from them? What's your passion and commitment to impacting others on your journey ahead as a leader?   We gain new strength and acquire wisdom, knowledge, and joy, igniting our spirit and body for more excellent works serving clients, family, community, company, and the world. Step by faith into the uncomfortable stage of your life and career journey. Commitment precedes power. We walk by faith, not by sight.  Victory!

Every choice is an opportunity. When we are stuck, we stop seeing the value of the choices that we do have. Instead, we become afraid. We don't want to rush or wait too long to make a decision. We must have a process, so we have a balanced approach. One that checks in with our head (facts), heart (passions), and gut (larger purpose). “On an important decision one rarely has 100% of the information needed for a good decision no matter how much one spends or how long one waits. And, if one waits too long, he has a different problem and has to start all over. This is the terrible dilemma of the hesitant decision maker.” Robert K. Greenleaf, The Servant as Leader You have a great opportunity to learn more about what you really want if you make time to dig into the truth. It's an opportunity to slow down and course correct, so you can make sure your head, heart, and gut are aligned with your next set of actions.  This phrase was spun from Plato the Greek philosopher who said, “Our need will be the real creator”. Being stuck is a regular part of life. It means that you care about the situation and want it to turn out well. You should start by checking with yourself before you can get unstuck. You have to get clear on the issue that makes you feel stuck. It starts with understanding the lens through which you are viewing the situation.

Let's face it: We've all had a leader that we never trusted, didn't get along with, or weren't supported by. The way the world works today, it's crucial to have leaders in our organizations that build trust, inspire others, and promote growth. Join Patrick and Susan as they speak with Haberfeld's Ben O'Neill and Ned Pauley about leadership's true role in your FI's growth. Here, Ben and Ned also offer their perspective on the best ways to help your leaders grow.Books MentionedServant Leadership by Robert K.

Visit Spark Media.Ventures for more inspiring Christian podcasts. "Leadership is not a rank or a position; it is a choice – a choice to look after the person to the left of us & the person to the right of us." — Simon Sinek Peter and Misty Phillip discuss the idea of Servant Leadership in family, business, and spiritual life. They discuss how servant leadership has been modeled for them by family and church leaders and how they've implemented this practice in their life and leadership. What is servant leadership? Jesus modeled servant leadership for us admirably in how we lead others. Put the last first and the first last. You put others before you. You become the example. Lifting everyone else up and looking after growing, mentoring, and leading others. James and John wanted a position in Heaven, but Jesus chastised them. Saying, "But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Jesus was the suffering servant who lived on a mission to do the Father's will to lay down his life as a ransom, a sacrifice, and a propitiation. True leaders put others first. People think servant leadership is just about the workplace. Peter says, "There are a lot of bosses, not a lot of leaders." Military leaders and moms alike eat last. "A mom is a good example of servant leadership where your concern and your goal is to raise up and empower, and help, and grow and shepherd and mentor." Peter learned servant leadership from his Father, who was honorable, moral, and upright. Peter says, "If you apply that across-the-board if you have that same level across your personal life, your business life, your friend life, right that's servant leadership is reflecting and all the things that you do." Misty brings up the Golden Rule: treat others as we want to be. They discuss leadership skills and an example of servant leadership. Being a hard worker is not the same as being a good leader. When leaders trust their employees, they empower them with the tools they need to do their job. Larry Hack surrounded himself with intelligent people and empowered them to do a great job. He was a great leader and a champion of his team. Larry is a man of faith and brings that faith element into the workplace. Misty says, "It is a principle that we live out where ever we are home or in the office." A problem they've seen with leaders is the sin of pride. People care about themselves and what can help them, not building others up. Pride is treacherous—a prideful leader who wants to take all the credit for others' work to build themselves up. In a relationship, one of the spouses is selfish. It becomes a tango between pride and narcissism. The goal should be supporting others. In his consulting, Peter often says he is in the hero business, which means he wants his client to be the hero. He is there to raise them, grow them, and help them. Misty talks about winning your husband over without saying a word, even when he is not a good leader, and applying Biblical principles to your relationship. Peter shares the story of his brain cancer and how his boss Larry handled the situation. Misty recalls the eulogy given by Jeffrey Hildebrandt of Hilcorp for Peter's dad, and it was all about servant leadership. Peter and Misty close the show with the idea that people just want to be seen and heard. Connecting with people, creating empathy, being present with them, acknowledging and treating others the way you want to be treated. Ideas Behind Servant Leadership "Good leaders must first become good servants." The ideas behind servant leadership are ancient, but Robert K. Greenleaf is the person who first articulated them for our time. Many entrepreneurs aim for what Robert Greenleaf first described in his essay The Servant as a Leader. As he put it, "servant leadership "begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions." - Robert Greenleaf Resources Mark 10: 35-45 ESV 35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." 36 And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" 37 And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory." 38 Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" 39 And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared." 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[d] 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave[e] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Servant Leadership is an important topic on the PMP Exam 2021 especially since PMI have named "stewardship" as a principle (which belongs to Servant Leadership as a tenet). Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy in which the goal of the leader is to serve. This is different from traditional leadership where the leader's main focus is the thriving of their company or organizations. A servant leader shares power, puts the needs of the employees first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible. Servant leadership inverts the norm, which puts the customer service associates as a main priority. Instead of the people working to serve the leader, the leader exists to serve the people. As stated by its founder, Robert K. Greenleaf, a Servant Leader should be focused on, "Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?" When leaders shift their mindset and serve first, they benefit as well as their employees in that their employees acquire personal growth, while the organization grows as well due to the employees growing commitment and engagement. Since this leadership style came about, a number of different organizations[example needed] have adopted this style as their way of leadership. ( New 2021 Exam?

1970 entwickelte der langjährige AT&T Personalmanager Robert K. Greenleaf das Konzept des „Servant Leaders“. Der dienende Führer strebt nicht nach Macht, Einfluss oder Geltung. Er will das Beste für seine Mitarbeiter und seine Organisation, für die er Verantwortung trägt. Diese Einstellung entspringt seiner Grundüberzeugung. Wenn der Dienst an seinen Mitarbeitern ganz selbstverständlich an erster Stelle steht, folgt die akzeptierte Führerschaft von selbst. Servant Leader stellen also ihre Interessen hinter denen, von ihnen Geführten zurück. Mit der Regula Benedicti, dem Regelwerk des Benediktiner-Ordens, gilt dann, dass Wertschätzung Wertschöpfung zur Folge hat. Welches Mindset ist erforderlich, um als „Servant Leader„ erfolgreich zu sein? Kann man das lernen? Auch in Unternehmen, die unter großem zeitlichen Druck stehen? Börsennotierten Unternehmen, die Quartalsbilanzen vorlegen müssen und unter großem Druck institutioneller Anleger stehen? Läßt sich das Konzept der „Servant Leaders“ eher in Familien-geführten, mittelständischen Unternehmen (Hidden Chapions) leben? Unternehmen, die in Generationen denken und nicht in Quartalen? Spannende Fragen. Viel Spaß bei unserem neuen Podcast. Euer Robin, Euer Hartwig 14.11.2020.

“Leadership is a gift. You can't buy it, you can't sell it, you can't trade it. You either have it or you don't. It is the most valuable commodity on the planet, and it is the rarest commodity we have. But it's not just any type of leadership, it's leadership without ego. It's servant-leadership.” ~Bob Davids As moms, we often practice principles of servant-leadership without realizing it. But what if we better understood this most powerful leadership style? What if we began practicing it more in our homes and gradually gained the knowledge and skills to more effectively practice it in our communities as well? Think of the powerful force for good we could be as we learn to become the influential servant-leaders God intends us to be! Join Audrey as she outlines the characteristics of servant-leadership. You'll be encouraged by examples of how ordinary people who become servant-leaders have impacted the world for good.

It's servant leadership.” ~Bob Davids “...the great leader is seen as servant first, and that simple fact is the key to his greatness...His servant nature—his desire to help others—was a part of his character, and it could not be taken away. That's why he was a servant first, a servant at heart.” ~ Robert K. Greenleaf “You're only a leader when people decide to follow you. They follow you because they can see that you are worthy of being followed, that you are going somewhere they want to go.” ~Audrey Rindlisbacher “Servant-leadership begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. ” ~Robert K. Greenleaf “Authority or positions of authority are not the same as leadership.” ~Robert K. Greenleaf “Leadership is about influence rather than power and control. It's about inspiration rather than position and title. It's about focusing on others strengths rather than weaknesses. It's about listening rather than giving orders. It's about humility rather than pride, the big picture rather than self-interest. It's about long-range benefits rather than short term profit. It is about creating new futures rather than maintaining the status quo.” ~Barclay Corporation “The servant-leader is meeting a real, natural need that people have. The difference between a servant first and a leader first manifests itself in the care taken by the servant, first to make sure other people's highest priority needs are being served.” ~Robert K. Greenleaf A gauge for servant-leadership - “...do those served grow as persons. Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more like themselves, and more likely to become servants? And what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit or at least will they not be further deprived?” ~Robert K. Greenleaf “You must be a servant-leader to yourself first. You must be willing to serve yourself by understandin...

Servant Leadership ist nicht nur eine Management Technik sondern eine Lebenseinstellung. "Geben ist das neue Nehmen" ist ein beliebter Satz, der durch Top-Speaker in der Persönlichkeitsentwicklungsbranche geprägt wurde. Die Idee der "dienenden" Führung ist jedoch nicht neu. 1977 publizierte Robert K. Greenleaf bereits das Führungsprinzip "Servant Leadership", das aus meiner Sicht nicht aktueller sein könnte. Gerade in Zeiten der Veränderungen brauchen wir diese Führungskräfte, Trainer, Speaker, Familienoberhäupte, die ihre Führungsqualitäten in den Dienst anderer Menschen stellen. Was es genau bedeutet, ein Servant Leader zu sein und wie Du es für Dich selbst umsetzt, erfährst Du in dieser Podcastfolge. Die Welt braucht "Servant Leader", wirst Du einer davon? ___________________ **Krise als Chance** Hier der Link zum Spezial Angebot des Onlinekurses für alle, die finden, es ist jetzt die passende Zeit dem Leben eine neue Richtung zu geben.

www.lemiepersone.itServo. Al servizio dei propri collaboratori.Il leader esiste per servire le sue persone.Per aiutare le sue persone a crescere, a diventare autonomi, a migliorarsi continuamente, come professionisti e come individui. Mettersi al servizio significa dedicare tempo a pensare e programmare il bene e il successo dei propri collaboratori, mettendo in secondo piano se stessi. Significa investire energie per fornire alle proprie persone tutta la formazione, la conoscenza, gli strumenti e il potere per renderli autonomi nel raggiungimento dei loro obiettivi. E poi lasciarli fare, lasciarli volare verso il loro successo. Fidandosi di loro e delle loro capacità. Solo come conseguenza della crescita e del successo dei collaboratori arriva la crescita e il successo del leader e della sua organizzazione. Questa filosofia si chiama Servant Leadership. E’ stata teorizzata per la prima volta nel 1970 da Robert K. Greenleaf. Ribalta completamente il concetto di leader forte, autoritario, conquistatore, maschio alfa. Il capo figo che si vede nei film. A 50 anni dalla sua teorizzazione questa filosofia bellissima da raccontare è ancora difficilissima da implementare. Da trovare in azienda.Le aziende dove la servant leadership è la cultura manageriale prevalente sono spesso leader di mercato.Bisogna essere molto sicuri di sé per essere servant leader, bisogna pensare prima agli altri che a sé stessi, bisogna donare prima di ricevere, bisogna amare il proprio lavoro e le proprie persone. Non aspettare di incontrare un servant leader, potrebbe volerci troppo tempo.Comincia tu a diventare un servant leader. Aiuterai gli altri, aiuterai te stesso.Il miglior libro sulla servant ledaership? “The Servant” di James C. Hunter

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by AgileThought colleague and return guest, Sam Falco! Sam is an Agile Coach and Certified Scrum Professional with an extensive background leading Agile development teams.   A few episodes ago they discussed Scrum and empirical process control and today they’ll be doing a deep dive on Scrum values!   One of the problems many people tend to face with Scrum is that it can feel very mechanical. But luckily, there is a solution to that. There’s a statement in the Scrum Guide that the successful use of Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living by five values; the values that drive Scrum. These values truly put the heart in Scrum — and they’re exactly what Sam will be talking about today!   Tune in to learn what these values are, why they are so critical to the success of Scrum teams, and how to apply these values. Sam also gives some examples of where he’s seen the values be really present (and, where they haven’t) in a Scrum team and the effect that it has on the organization overall.   Key Takeaways The five values that put the heart in Scrum: Commitment Courage Focus Openness Respect Why these values are so critical to Scrum teams and how to apply them: You need commitment to stay on track with Scrum Openness and courage are key to having transparent and honest communication Stay focused on the work of the sprint and the goals of the Scrum team Stay focused on the sprint goal helps to eliminate distractions Don’t get distracted by side projects and focus on the main task at hand (Sam recommends using personal Kanban boards) Respect all members of the Scrum team to be capable, independent people Show respect by showing where you have dependencies with the Scrum team Show respect by not expecting everyone to know what you know With openness and courage: share the whys, share the issues you ran into, how you overcame them, and where you need to escalate them How to strengthen these values in your Scrum team: See where they’re present and figure out where they can be strengthened Bring it up in a retrospective and have some deeper conversations about it   Mentioned in this Episode: Sam Falco (LinkedIn) The Scrum Guide Agile Coaches’ Corner Ep. 23: “Scrum and Empirical Process Control with Sam Falco” Agile Coaches’ Corner Ep. 21: “Why Are Games Important to Agile?

In this episode of The Coaching Leader Podcast, Scott talks to a former member of his cohort while working on his master's in leadership, Dr. Lili Agee-Finke. She is an executive coach and trainer and wrote her doctoral dissertation on servant leadership. She shares some of her insights and encouragement for people to be servant leaders. Sometimes surprising and sometimes deceivingly simple. Lili breaks it down and makes it practical for us to put it to use. You may contact her directly by telephone at 561-512-4514 or you can find her at execucoach360.com or email her at execucoach360@gmail.com.  During the podcast she mentioned the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, named after pioneer in servant leadership, Robert K Greenleaf. https://www.greenleaf.org      

Joining Audrey for this week's REELTalk - Would you be surprised to learn that a majority of Americans have immigration/border security as a top priority…and that those who should be serving us in DC don’t even have it on their radar? Americans are developing new technologies to secure our southern border…are our politicians paying attention? We'll get answers to this and more with Angel Moms SABINE DURDEN and MARY ANN MENDOZA! Plus, Jim Crow Laws were once considered settled law, thank God the Dems lost their rule and these laws are now gone…isn’t it time for Roe to also go? Abolishing ICE would release 1.4M criminal illegal aliens onto US streets, which is triple the population of Miami. So why are Democrats calling for ICE to be abolished? We'll hit this with Dove Award nominated Recording Artist STEVE CAMP! And, Robert K. Greenleaf, founder of the modern Servant Leadership movement once said: "The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. The best test is: do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?” We’re going to touch on this and hear about some real life examples of servant leaders…with MAJ FRED GALVIN! In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately." Come hang with us...

Frick, Don M, foreword by Peter M. Senge, & afterword by Larry C. Spears. Robert K. Greenleaf: A Life of Servant Leadership. San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., 2004. Becoming a human being, and preparing a foundation for leadership, starts with developing the capacity to see what we have not seen before. If this capacity is absent, actions taken in the face of novel circumstances will actually be reactions from our past rather than appropriate for the present. As the capacity to stop becomes developed, our actions start to emerge from a broader field, the field of the future that is seeking to emerge. …Greenleaf advocated: listening, consensus decision making, persuasion, lifelong learning, participatory research, exposure to ideas from the humanities, shared power, and full accountability. Greenleaf says a leader is one who "goes out ahead and shows the way... He says, 'I will go, follow me!' when he knows that the path is uncertain, even dangerous." The leader always knows the goal and "can articulate it for any who are unsure. By clearly stating and restating the goal the leader gives certainty and purpose to others who may have difficulty in achieving it for themselves.... The word goal is used here in the special sense of the overarching purpose, the big dream, the visionary concept, the ultimate consummation which one approaches but never really achieves." People follow leaders because they believe leaders "see more clearly where it is best to go." The servant-leader is servant first... It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. … The best test, and difficult to administer, is: do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in society; will he benefit, or, at least, will he not be further deprived? This suggests that a non-servant who wants to be a servant might become a natural servant through a long arduous discipline of learning to listen, a discipline sufficiently sustained that the automatic response to any problem is to listen first." "Listening isn't just keeping quiet; and it isn't just making appropriate responses that indicate one is awake and paying attention," says Greenleaf. "Listening is a healing attitude, the attitude of intensely holding the belief--faith if you wish to call it thus--that the person or persons being listened to will rise to the challenge of grappling with the issues involved in finding their own wholeness."

In this episode of the Blanchard LeaderChat podcast, we speak with Ken Blanchard, co-editor of the new book, Servant Leadership in Action. For Blanchard, servant leadership isn’t just a book or a nice-to-have management concept.  Instead, he sees it as a movement—a shift from leadership that is self-focused to one that is others-focused. “The world is in desperate need of a new leadership model. Too many leaders have been conditioned to think of leadership only in terms of power and control. But there is a better way to lead—one that combines equal parts serving and leading.” For this new book, Servant Leadership In Action, Blanchard invited more than 40 leaders from all types of organizations to share their experiences putting servant leadership concepts to work. Blanchard points to companies like Southwest Airlines, Synovus Financial, WD-40 Company, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen as companies who have used servant leadership principles to build strong internal cultures that bring out the best in people in service to customers. Blanchard also shares stories of his own servant leadership journey, tracing it back to a meeting with Robert K. Greenleaf, who first coined the term “servant leadership” back in the early 1970s. Blanchard believes that servant leaders are constantly trying to find out what their people need to perform well and to live according to their organization’s vision. Rather than wanting people to please their bosses, servant leaders want to make a difference in their employees’ lives and in their organizations. In top organizations, leaders believe if they do a good job serving their employees and showing they truly care about them, the employees will, in turn, practice that same philosophy with customers.

Pat Falotico from the Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership shares how servant leadership translates across faith dimensions.

Hello everyone and welcome back. In this episode, Patrick talks about the importance of Servant Leadership, but first what is it? Servant Leadership is based on the concept of "Servant First". It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. The concept started with Robert K. Greenleaf and has grown very much over the last several years. Patrick talks about 12 Principles of Servant Leadership.   Check out the principles here: http://library.nsuok.edu/admin/minutes/servantleadership.pdf   Check this and other great episodes at www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
