Servant Leadership Forum, April 21, Minneapolis

Here is a plug for what looks like an interesting forum on servant leadership to be held Tuesday, April 21, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the University of St. Thomas Schulze School of Entrepreneurship in downtown Minneapolis, MN. Refer to this link for more information. I hope to make it and will try to post some follow-up thoughts.

Speakers will include Ron James, president and chief executive officer of the Center for Ethical Business Cultures, sharing his thoughts on "Ethical Culture: The Connection to Servant Leadership" and Kent Keith, chief executive officer of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, will speak on "The Case for Servant Leadership."

A panel, moderated by James, will discuss from "principle and theory" to "practice and application" and encourage interaction between the panel and members of the audience. The panel will include: Ken Melrose – former chairman and chief executive officer of The Toro Company and author of Making the Grass Greener on Your Side (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 1995); Kent Keith – the speaker noted above of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership and author of The Case for Servant Leadership (Greenleaf Center Press, 2008); James Sipe – senior consultant at PDI Ninth House and co-author of Seven Pillars of Servant Leadership: Practicing the Wisdom of Leading by Serving (Paulist Press, 2009); and Don Frick – Robert Greenleaf's biographer and co-author of Seven Pillars for Servant Leadership: Practicing the Wisdom of Leading by Serving (Paulist Press, 2009).

The forum is sponsored by the Center for Ethical Business Cultures, Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership and the Thomas Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions at the University of St. Thomas.

There is no charge for the event. Participants are asked to register by Thursday, April 16 by sending an e-mail to mail@cebcglobal.org.
