The Servant-Leader on the Battlefield: Themes of Home, Ambition, Ethics, and Death in the Film 1917
Get PDFFilm provides a unique medium in which the audience can be engaged through many senses, asking viewers to participate in the storytelling beyond a passive consumption of the artform (Barsam & Monahan, 2016). As art acts as a reflection of reality and the human connection to the great unanswered questions, studying film is a powerful case-study device for leadership scholars and practitioners. “No well-made film is unable to teach us something about leadership because leadership is about conflict, choices, and integrity” (Carey, 2005). Leadership studies often looks at military structures and other perilous situations for leadership lessons in success or failure (Kellerman, 2018; Northouse, 2015). 1917, as a military movie, provides several themes that touch on the personal leadership journeys each of us possess while attempting to live meaningful lives while achieving our passions. “In great films truly generative dialogue can be engaged with modern-day prophets and servant-leaders seeking to better understand the nature of the human condition through the stories we tell each other” (Walsh, 2020). I will discuss the film language used to construct four themes from the film 1917: home, ambition, ethics, and death. One of the two main characters, Lance Corporal Schofield, in traversing a dangerous mission to deliver a message across no man’s land through German occupied France in World War I learns to become a servant-leader. 1917, can be considered a spiritual sibling to the writing of Henry David Thoreau, whose essay Walden deeply influenced Greenleaf’s (1998) thematic understandings of the lasting values which motivate disruptors of an apathetic mode. By finding the conception of home as a tranquil and transcendental value for his mission and motivating ambition, instead of an innocent entity to avoid being corrupted, Schofield, like Thoreau, learns to embrace a slow, steady, and death laden road towards the future. The lessons that Schofield learns are attuned to the primary distinction that Greenleaf (1977/2002) makes in Servant as Leader, the servant-leader is subversive to the Western dominant paradigm of leader first by affirming the connection, wholeness, and process of being servant first

The Credibility of Climate Models
Get PDFClimate adaptation strategies require us to plan for a climate we have yet to experience. Climate models provide us with state-of-the-science information on climate trajectories. In this talk, Dr. Abatzoglou will try to demystify climate models, provide insights on latest generation of climate models, and highlight what they foretell about climate change in the region. Dr. John Abatzoglou is an Associate Professor in Management of Complex Systems at the University of California, Merced. John received his bachelor\u27s degree in Atmospheric Science from UC Davis, doctorate in Earth Systems Science from UC Irvine. John\u27s academic interests are primarily focused around climate science and impacts in the American West. His Climatology Lab works on a diverse set of research questions spanning climate science and meteorology as well as their impacts on systems including water resources, wildfire, and agriculture. The research group also develops web-based climate services to help scientists and practitioners improve climate readiness
A Personal Remembrance of Robert K. Greenleaf
Get PDFLarry C. Spears shares a personal remembrance of Robert K. Greenleaf. An earlier version of this remembrance was published in “The Servant-Leader” newsletter (1990). It later appeared as a chapter in Fortuitous Encounters by Paul Davis and Larry Spears (2013)
What Does Leadership Expect from Me? Interpreting Leadership through Meaning, Love, and Power
Get PDFThis essay aims to make the case that our dominant concepts of leadership are constraining, thus prohibiting us from meeting the higher meanings residing within leadership, namely love. Blinded by our “existential frustration” (Frankl, 2014, p. 71), we have existed within conceptual notions of leadership that contend for mediocrity and production rather than beauty, goodness, and love (hooks, 2001). The origins of leadership implore humanity to a new paradigm that seeks beauty, even where none is intended (Bolz-Weber, 2022), and takes others along. By examining the etymology of leadership and applying Viktor Frankl\u27s (2006) concept of will to meaning as a hermeneutic, I contend that leadership, like life itself, invites each leader to consider, what is leadership expecting of me? Furthermore, I maintain that the fuller truth of each leader\u27s answer will look much like the fruit of love. In that way, I offer servant-leadership as a leadership paradigm consistent with Frankl\u27s (2006) will to meaning and a framework that allows the paradox of freedom and responsibility to reveal love in leadership
Leaning Away to Lean In: Aspirations of Servant-Leadership through the Tenets of Giving Things Up, Listening, and Silence
Get PDFFrick (2011) inspires reflection when he notes, “We tend to believe that we must do something to solve a problem.” This is a powerful notion seen through the lens of modern life. Organizational life, especially, is full of action. Whether or not certain actions should be taken is largely a consideration of oughtness, though many believe as Frick suggests — that we feel we must do something. This belief has limitations, which we are wont to learn if we are receptive, irrespective of where we might be in our lives. While this may seem counterintuitive, leaning away from action to lean into it may allow for many like me to improve. Framed through servant-leadership, this path is not only enlightened, it appears achievable and worthy
