Servant Leadership as a Powerful Tool
After carefully considering Greenleaf's original writings on Servant Leadership, Larry Spears, CEO of the Greenleaf Center has identified a set of 10 characteristics that he views as being critical to the development of servant-leaders. These 10 are by no means exhaustive. However, they serve to communicate the power and promise that this concept
offers
AHCAP News You Need, in conjunction with the remaining 10 months till 2008 Leadership Conference, will post a characteristic each month to focus and reflect on as we culminate this powerful educational method into daily routine.
1 Listening
Traditionally, leaders have been valued for their communication and decision making skills. Servant-leaders must reinforce these important skills by making a deep commitment to listening intently to others. Servant-leaders seek to identify and clarify the will of a group. They seek to listen receptively to what is being and said (and not said). Listening
also encompasses getting in touch with one's inner voice, and seeking to understand what one's body, spirit, and mind are communicating.
