When you ask most people about the individuals who have had the biggest influence on them, they usually tell heartwarming stories of those who helped them, supported them in tough times, believed in their potential, and were humble in their dealings. There is a model of leadership that reflects these types of qualities. In this module, we begin to define the concept of servant leadership. (Approx. 47 min.)
GOALS
1. Get a beginning understanding of the term “servant leadership”.
2. Recall leaders who have positively influenced you with their servant leadership skills.
The Facilitator will need to provide materials to write on (board or flip chart).
"Ann McGee-Cooper teaches us that 'work' and 'drudgery' are not synonymous. She shows how a job can be a source of fellowship, zest, pride, fun, and individual expression. If we follow her precepts, we will return home refreshed, not jaded, and inspired rather than debilitated, at the end of our 'fun day,' not our 'work day.' We will also collectively be a more productive, competitive, and healthy society. I believe in what she says."
