“The role of leaders to create more leaders”

As servant leadership continues to grow and develop as a philosophy and movement, there is an emerging need to teach others about servant leadership. Every servant leader is a teacher and every teacher is a servant leader. In this course, we will attempt to bridge the gap by integrating the conceptual and operational dimensions of servant leadership. Learning and leading are integrated in the work of service.

What are the goods necessary for human flourishing? How have past generations served us by cultivating those goods? How can we ensure that the goods with which we are entrusted are nurtured and sustained for the benefit of future generations? How can we, as leaders of communities and of institutions, help others acknowledge and develop a commitment toward those goods? This course will emphasize the need for Gratitude to the past, Attention to the present, and Foresight to the future as the keys to leading people into responsible stewardship.
