Servant-Leader Training Academy - Course Description

Transform the way you live, love, and lead!

"The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead."
– Robert K. Greenleaf

Overview

Leading by serving first—a simple yet profound philosophy that:

Is guided by a clear set of principles that are values and relational based;
Most people are naturally inclined to embrace; and
Is built upon proven leadership core competencies and best practices.

The Servant Leader Training Academy is a one-day, skills-oriented training and development program focused on the acquisition and execution of the most critical competencies of leading by serving first: advanced empathy, persuasion, foresight, humility, collaboration, and the ethical use of power, among other skills. The curriculum integrates Robert Greenleaf’s core ideas about Servant Leadership, with the latest and best thinking of top researchers, thought-leaders, and accomplished leadership practitioners.

The Servant Leader Training Academy offers an assortment of didactic and experiential learning techniques (e.g., lectures, group process, case studies, simulations, readings, and reflection) to help leaders gain mastery in the application of the concept of Servant Leadership – at work, at home, and in the community.
