Links for Monday, January 2nd
Being gone from blogging, as well as quite a while from my e-mail, has left me with quite a few servant-leadership references in the news to sift through. Here are a few to start off the new year:
- Servant-Leadership and being a church elder. Here is a speech from a Pastor's conference back in 1992 on the role of servant-leadership and eldership.
- The Korean economy and servant-leadership? I read this article from an interview with Hyundai Research Institute president Kim Joong-woong discussing the need for "reform-minded leadership" and "servant-leadership" in order to overcome the challenges facing the Korean economy. Reference to servant-leadership in the bottom 1/4 of article.
- New V.A. director sees himself as a servant-leader. The director of the Canandaigua Veterans Administration Medical Center, Craig Howard, speaks about his new job and the importance of building community. He also says that he does not have 850 people who work for him, but 850 people that he serves. Mr. Howard certainly seems to understand many of the underpinnings of servant-leadership. You can read the article here.
- President of Oklahoma Natural Gas serves those who work for her. Phyllis Worley talks about her leadership philosophy as being that of a servant-leader. She also speaks about the importance of balance in life as it pertains to work and home. In her Q & A article, she also makes it clear that servant-leadership plays a major role in her life.
- A High School servant-leadership group! In this short article there is a reference to a Stockton, IL High School servant-leadership group. Glad to see it being talked about at such a young age! I'll have to do some follow-up on this group...it sounds like an interesting endeavor. I'll keep you posted if I find anything out about them.
