K: The commitment to treat the people with compassion and kindness is the basis of servant leadership in the global perspective.

Servant leadership is one of several models that have some basis in ethics, according to Northouse (2013), in this way servant leadership distinguishes itself from trait, path-goal or transformational models. The aim of this paper will be to examine on attribute of servant-leadership, describing how the principles might be applied, and the impact of such an approach, in a practical setting. The second part of this paper will evaluate servant leadership’s relationship with the Christian religion and ask whether the model is compatible with other belief systems.

Your assertion of a servant leader and their team completely buying into the success of the organization lends credence that individual recognition becomes less important as a servant leader grows. In reviewing material for another class, it was discovered that a successful project manager would be a type of servant leader “buying into” successful nursing of a project and project team for the organization. A Christian project leader can grow to be more humble as others are placed first in the project team and the project. Humbleness in the servant leader is honored by God; Proverbs 29:23 says “A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit” (KJV). Also, the servant attitude and not the pride of leadership

From the group Biblical Integration Paper, it was understood that servant-leadership is not only a gift of purpose that God places in the hearts of His people, but it is also a calling in one’s life to truly touch the lives of others in need. Living a successful life, as a servant-leader is not one that focuses on self-fulfillment, rather it is in seeking a fulfillment that comes from Christ when one pours him/herself out for the sake of others. It is through servant-leadership that one is able to bring hope into hopeless situations (Group Integration Paper,

Michelle’s life embodies the idea of a person who has the x-factor, she shows that leadership is something that is developed over time and learned through experiences. The x-factor is when individuals in a society spark creativity, it is a multi-discipline that borrows and synthesis existing intellectual resources to generate new ones and approach causation. (Burns, 2003). Michelle is a prime example of the ideals of the x-factor that crates a leader.

This feminist study will define the commodity fetishism of the slender female body within the social relationships of patriarchal capitalism and sales marketing. In American society, the female body has a history of being exploited through patriarchal interpretations of the slender body as part of capitalist commoditization. In this manner, unrealistic expectations of the female body are enhanced in various advertisements, which show artificially photoshopped slender bodies. These distorted images show a patriarchal preference for women’s bodies that define the subjective market value imposed through marketing schemes to sell weightless products. Two advertisements showing this type of commodity fetishism will be defined through the marketing advertisements of patriarchal corporate enterprises. A Marxist evaluation of the marketing of the slender body will define these subjective social relationships that alienate women in the patriarchal commoditization of the slender female body for marketing purposes.

This week I found it very interesting and enlightening to learn how servant leadership principles have been around since biblical times and how they remain timeless even today. I learned more about the leadership traits of those from biblical times during my research for this week's discussion post. While the majority of the concepts of servant leadership made perfect sense to me before in regards to how they were present in that era, this week it has become even more evident that mankind were really meant to serve each other. Through completing this weeks assignment, I have taken a look back at the various leaders that I have had the pleasure of working with, they all held servant leadership qualities.

The foundation of my personal leadership philosophy can be found in the principles of servant leadership as spelled out by Greenleaf (1970, 1977). Leadership is granted to individuals who are by nature servants. An individual emerges as a leader by first becoming a servant. Servant leaders attend to the needs of those they serve and help them become more informed, free, self-sufficient, and like servants themselves. Leaders and those they serve improve, enhance, and develop each other through their connection. A leader must also be conscious of inequalities and social injustices in the organizations they serve and work actively to resolve those issues. Servant leaders rely less on the use of official power and control, but focus on empowering those they

What is a serving society and does that concept embrace spirituality? Does the fact of incorporating spirituality into an organization or a workplace provide healthier and more effective employees? How does the concept of a serving society and an organization that incorporates spirituality into its mission relate to Robert Greenleaf's servant leadership model? These questions and issues are reviewed and critiqued in this paper.

I remember being asked from my high school advisor why I wanted to become a nurse. At the age of 17, I responded with the cliché answer, “because I love to help others.” Although this is true, I had no idea the opportunities God was going to provide for me as a nurse. It wasn’t until I became a Christian myself that I fully understand what it meant to be a Christian servant leader. Grahn (2011) identifies the difference between serving the needs of others and being a servant of other’s needs. Being a Christian servant leader means being Christ-centered and committing to serving the needs of others before serving our own and without imposing judgement. It means having the courage to lead with the focus on expressing both power and love. Lastly,

The examination of servant leadership has been well documented since the days of the Bible. The Bible tells us about some of the most influential and some of the most heinous leaders throughout its scripture. Through its teachings, the Bible also tells us how to deal with the most difficult leaders and is well-stocked with different mechanisms to do so. One of the most prominent servant leaders is Nehemiah, from the book of Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 4:22-23, Nehemiah demonstrates that he will stand side-by-side with those he was leading in their efforts. He was servant to his earthly king, and he becomes a servant in leading the people of his true King. We are all building a structure in our own lives. There are times when our efforts crumble and

The five leadership practices included: spiritual, heartbeat, abilities, personality, and experience. The spiritual part of leadership begins with the author’s relationship with God first. God is first, because, Matthew 22:37-38 records, “And He said to Him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, this is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, you shall love you neighbor as yourself, indicating, the two greatest commandments involve God and others.” Therefore, God and others are linked together. The heartbeat of leadership describes the passion, which relates to the time, focus, and energy the author is purposing to put into leadership. The abilities of leadership implies the willingness, showing forth effort, determination, and tendenosity. Personality can be received as positive or negative, because it identifies self.

Many people want to attain and hold influential positions in society whether it would be in the field of science, politics, education, or in public service. However, many people tend to forget how servitude is one of the main life highways to travel in order to arrive at that successful destination called “Leadership.” Nevertheless, there was one man who knew how powerful the concept of servitude was in order to grasp the reigns of successful leadership. Socrates was a phenomenal philosopher, scholar, teacher, and servant. Socrates leadership style was unique in regards to letting students communicate among one another in an articulate theological reasoning process by questioning and probing at one’s belief system in order to
