A Servant-Leadership Organization: TDIndustries
One of the recent comments made on the blog asked: Who is at the forefront of the Servant-Leadership movement? It is a great question, and ties in with one of my goals for the blog. When I started the blog I envisioned doing a weekly highlight of some organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, that embody servant-leadership principles. In a utopian world I would attempt to get the leaders of these organizations either to come on and blog throughout the week, or at least offer some insights into how they have implemented servant-leadership
.
Well, I'm still working on this. And with the school year started, it may take a couple of more weeks to make this a reality. But in the meantime, I thought I would offer some information about one of the model servant-leadership businesses out there. If you have done any research on servant-leadership, you know the name: TDIndustries.
A specialty construction business based out of Dallas, TX, TDIndustries has worked hard to implement servant-leadership into their entire organization. Let me provide you just one example: employee ownership. Employees, known at TDIndustries as partners, own 75% of the company's stock and are given a democratic vote according to their individual percentage. If necessary, even a CEO could be ousted!
It is one thing for a boss to say to their employees: 'I work for you'. But being willing to submit yourself to a vote of your employees whether or not you stay shows just one little glimpse into why TDIndustries is a model servant-leadership organization.
I always like to know what parts of Greenleaf's vision an organization embraces. If you'd like to see TDIndustries' servant-leadership page, click here.
