“On the Path to Servant-Leadership”
Lawernce Lad and David Luechauer (click here and scroll down to April for an update from Jacksonville University in Florida where David Luechauer appears to currenly work as an associate professor of leadership) were both associate professors of management at Butler University in Indianapolis when they wrote the essay titled “On the Path to Servant-Leadership”. The essay is the fifth chapter in "Insights on Leadership". Their essay discusses the various pathways, common themes, barriers, paradoxes, and downsides to servant leadership.
Two quotes that struck me as noteworthy include: “Though loaded with potential traps and pitfalls, the journey toward servant leadership can be successfully negotiated by engaging in a variety of activities.”; “In many ways, servant-leadership is the conscious practice of the Golden Rule.”
The way to become a good servant-leader is to find a path that works and start following it. Practicing servant-leadership in itself is what is important, not the ultimate goal or outcome.
