Servant Leadership Focus Newsletter
A
monthly newsletter that is available free.
The Servant Leadership Focus Newsletter fosters and cultivates transformational servant leaders. To serve is to lead is our premise. Transformational servant leaders exhibit and model “caring” leadership .The goal ultimately is to see thriving self-reliant people who become servant leaders in their own right. Each article in the newsletter has been selected to help you in your leadership journey and to give you some transferable tools to put into immediate practice. A transition to a servant leadership culture is not an episode, an event, or a program; it is a never-ending PROCESS of which you are the most important element. Servant Leaders think about people's thinking. But it first must start with our thinking and habits! How are we purposely, intentionally, and habitually focusing on keeping ourselves well and accountable and then how is that impacting and influencing others? |
