Here are some interesting things I've run across in the way of servant-leadership:

• Southwest Airlines, Servant-Leadership, and a T.V. Show: This is a must-read! Have you ever watched the show 'Airline' on A&E? It was a great show that filmed crew-customer interactions of Southwest Airlines at four airports in the U.S. We've talked a great deal about Southwest and servant-leadership on the blog, with probably more posts in the future. Although the show has been cancelled after two seasons, this article does a great job talking about Southwest's role in the show and their emphasis on maintaining a servant-leadership culture.
• American Idol & Servant-Leadership?: I would never associate these two topics, but past Idol winner Clay Aiken is featured in this article as a great servant-leader. Even a quote from Larry Spears, CEO of the Greenleaf Center.
• MBA's, Business Ethics, and Servant-Leadership: Bethel University in St. Paul, MN is starting up an MBA program emphasizing ethics from a biblical perspective. A key component, according to the article, is helping student understand what it means to be a servant-leader.
• Various Leadership styles: This article does a nice job of explaining various styles of leadership. Not only is servant-leadership mentioned, but also some rather obscure ones as well. Anyone here done work with intelligence leadership????
