TMCA And Servant Leadership
TMCA has been teaching the principles of servant leadership since 1976 when our co-founder, Dr. Ann McGee-Cooper began a partnership with TDIndustries to develop servant-leaders at all levels of the organization. Introduced to the “orange book,”The Servant As Leader by Jack Lowe, Sr., Ann developed curriculum to teach Partners at TDIndustries the concept of servant leadership in an interactive format. In 1979, Ann met Duane Trammell and they began a business in the early 80’s, teaching the skills of servant leadership. Later, Ann had the opportunity to meet Robert Greenleaf and be mentored by him in the last decade of his life.
Participants are introduced to servant leadership through a community-building activity, six key traits, and what they look like in the work place.
Now EVERYONE in your organization can have access to servant leadership. The class uses cultural traditions to examine leadership skills, teaching through stories and participants’ experiences.
When moving from being an individual contributor to a supervisor, responsibilities change. Class content covers such skills as delegating work, creating accountability, and coaching for effectiveness.
This course is designed to apply concepts of servant leadership to real work situations. The emphasis is on giving and receiving good feedback to improve performance.
The Servant Leadership Learning Community® (SLLC®) is a forum of leaders from organizations with a long-term commitment to practice servant leadership and grow authentic learning communities.
TMCA has transitioned leadership of the Dallas SLLC® to Matthew Kosec Consulting.
The Virtual Servant Leadership Learning Community® is a six-month program led by TMCA, Inc. Partner and Professor, Dr. Deborah Welch, along with Dr. Virginia Gilmore.
