Why Servant Leadership can be a tough sell

I had to laugh when I read this article. Not that it is surprising, but a recent study indicates that we Americans are an impatient lot. Most of us will not return to businesses that make us wait, and some of us will even speak rudely when we are not served efficiently. What is interesting is that older people tend to be more impatient than younger people.

If we are this way as consumers, I imagine that things don't change much when it comes to our places of work and even our own personal growth. WE WANT IT NOW! And as we all know, servant leadership is not a quick fix - especially when dealing with real change within organizations. No wonder many dismiss it rather than embrace it.
