Servant leadership training & development

Comprehensive Development Programs for Senior Executives, Mid-Level Managers, and Individual Contributors

 

From over 35 years of teaching the principles of servant leadership with the goal of developing servant-leaders in organizations, we strongly believe that servant leadership is a journey and requires a long-term commitment.  Becoming an empathetic listener, appreciating differences, asking for and acting on feedback, wanting to serve others, and living with grace and humility is not something you can achieve in one classroom experience. Our programs in servant leadership are designed to occur over a one-year period, with a month between sessions to practice skills and apply them to the workplace and home life.  Because organizations are different and have different needs, we design our servant leadership programs tailored to specific Client cultures.  The following are examples of extended programs we do with Clients.
