Some links of interest

Servant-Leadership articles have been showing up everywhere as of late, so I thought I would share a few for you to check out as you get a chance:

Business-oriented links
--The Manila Times has a good article by Ben Teehankee about becoming a better leader through the use of Servant-Leadership.

--Anthony at BizzBangBuzz discusses TD Industries and their use of servant-leadership.

Religious-oriented links
--John at Jesus the Radical Pastor blogs about how Jesus calls us to be servant-leaders.

--An article in the Winston-Salem Journal explains how the concept of servant-leadership is becoming more a part of the business world, but with a Christian orientation.

--If you come from a Catholic background, you will have noticed this past Sunday that the gospel reading came from Matthew 23.1-12. Mt. 23.11 says "The greatest among you must be your servant." This is just one of many places where Jesus uses the language of being a servant in the gospels. Dennis blogs every Sunday about that week's gospel reading and has a great reflection on Jesus as a leader.

--Last, here is a post on Mirror of Justice. While it is not focused specifically on servant-leadership, I included it for several reasons: 1) The blog is run by the University of St. Thomas Law School professors (I did my undergrad at St. Thomas); and 2) It is a great post (a reprint of an NCR article) about the Catholic identity of Law Schools. What does it have to do with servant-leadership? Towards the end the dean of the St. Thomas law school mentions the dedication of the St. Thomas law school to the mission of servant-leadership.

Every single one of these articles and posts are fantastic reads. I hope you get as much out of them as I did.
