Course description
Servant Leadership is an extremely powerful leadership approach and it is the epitome of selflessness. While other leadership philosophies are fixated on organizational goals, the servant leader remains focused on employee needs to maximize individual development and potential. On the surface, this philosophy might appear to contradict organizational success. However, by giving employees what they need (such as accountability, nurturing, responsibility, coaching etc.) sustainable organizational success tends to follow. Servant Leadership can be summarized with the following: if you’re not serving others, then you are not leading.
