Missing my 1st anniversary
Not my wedding anniversary - if I did that you'd probably never hear from me again! I'm going to be missing my 1 year anniversary of starting the Servant Leadership Blog, which is Sunday, July 23rd. I leave today to spend the next couple of weeks at Christ Church, which is the largest college in the University of Oxford, to finish my doctoral classes. I'm hoping to occasionally blog while across the pond, but will not know for sure how it will fit into my schedule until I get there. Please keep checking in, as Don & Tom may have something to add over the next few weeks as well.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, it has been an amazing year. When I started I set a goal of 365 posts in the first year and 250 readers. I fell just short of both: This is the 333rd post with a solid 225 readers each day! Again THANK YOU!
Part of the success, I am convinced, is because of the excellent work that my colleagues have written. Don Frick, who is now a member of the Viterbo Faculty and directing our proposed PhD in Ethical Leadership, has taught me so much about Greenleaf and Servant Leadership along the way. And Tom Jablonski, a graduate of our MA in Servant Leadership program, demonstrates each time he writes the quality of reflective individuals that participate in our program. To both of them, I owe a big THANK YOU!
There are many things I want to improve upon as we enter our 2nd year of blogging. First, I hope to find a few more servant-leaders to join our writing staff. I want the blog to be a resource for people who want to better understand Servant Leadership, and to do this effectively I think it is in our best interest to expand our core team of writers. I also hope to add a few podcasts as well. You may see a few test ones over the next few months - we'll see how much interest there is in this feature.
What a great year it has been. Please keep coming back, sending me e-mails, commenting on the blog - it is what makes this such a joy. I hope to be writing from Oxford soon!
