"New Models of Work and Organization.”


Thomas Bausch is the author of the Nineteenth chapter in Insights on Leadership titled “Servant-Leaders Making Human New Models of Work and Organization.”

I enjoyed his connection between the ultimate purpose of work and how it relates to community. He writes, “The primary purpose of work is the development of the full potential of the individual doing the work. Each of us as servant-leaders can only develop our fullness as a person as part of a community, both through serving others and working with others in communities as diverse as the family; a church; our local, state, national, and international communities; our voluntary affiliations; and, possibly more important then anything but family, our community of work. There is no such thing as effective community without leadership”.

Community and leadership go hand and hand.
