What's Your Leadership Style?: Unlearning Servant Leadership
Description
We rethink servant leadership, tracing how values shape style, when closeness empowers, and where boundaries keep service from becoming control. We compare servant and transformational modes, test historical examples, and offer practical pivots for sustainable leadership.
• values driving leadership styles and choices
• definition and core traits of servant leadership
• inspire versus motivate as a practical distinction
• where servant leadership fits best on a team’s journey
• referral, boundaries and network support to prevent dependence
• middle management as the bridge for people and mission
• MLK and Jesus as lenses for public versus close leadership
• shadow side of glorified burnout and subtle power
• safeguards: accountability, community, healthy outlets, release plans
• practical pivots to democratic or directive styles when needed
