Reflections on Servant-Leadership and the United Kingdom: Interview with John Noble and Ralph Lewis
Get PDF[John Noble and Ralph Lewis co-founded the Greenleaf CentreUnited Kingdom in 1997. Both Ralph and John have a passion for developing servant-leaders and a strong belief in its potential for benefiting organizational life. For most of those years, John Noble served as director and Ralph Lewis served as board chair of Greenleaf-U.K. In November 2019, I sat down with them and conducted the following interview to capture their thoughts on servant-leadership, and their role in encouraging others in the U.K. and beyond, over the past 25 years. —Larry Spears
Teaching and Learning Servantleadership in the Outdoors
Get PDFIn the field of outdoor education a great deal of emphasis has been placed on evaluating instructional processes as they are used to develop leadership competencies (Berman & Berman, 2009; Buell, 1981; Gabriel, 2015; Green, 1981; Holladay & Sklar, 2012; Martin, Cashel, Wagstaff, & Breunig, 2006; Priest, 1984, 1986; Raiola & Sugerman, 1999). A limited body of outdoor leadership research has evaluated particular leadership frameworks, such as situational leadership theory (Hersey & Blanchard, 1981; Gabriel, 2015), to determine if leadership practices align with a particular leadership model in question. To advance professional knowledge of outdoor leadership theory and practice, the outdoor education field needs additional research documenting the application and effectiveness of available leadership models. This research introduces principles of servant-leadership (Greenleaf, 2002) as a basis for an outdoor leadership training curriculum. Specifically, this project sought to explicate student experiences of training in servant-leadership and their ability to apply a servant-leadership model in an outdoor leadership context. As this model has been primarily used to examine leadership in a business realm, its application has not been documented within an outdoor education setting. This study examines the effectiveness of a servant-leadership model as applied to outdoor leadership training (Paris & Peachey, 2013; Russell & Stone, 2002)
The Relationship Between Servantleadership and Self-Transcendence in a Spiritual Organization
Get PDFI grew up in the African American Baptist Church. It was there that I would first learn about servant-leadership, although I did not know about Robert Greenleaf or the theory of servant-leadership. What I did know about servant-leadership was from the Holy Bible. Jesus was the ultimate servant-leader, and I saw servant-leadership in action through my Mother
Selma: An Exploration of the Womanist Lens and the Servant-Leader
Get PDFMost of the Black community remember where they were the day the news broke that Barack Obama would be the 44th president of the United States. In 2008, I was living in the historic city of Atlanta where I had left behind the dust of an unpaved country road in Russellville, Arkansas. I had wondered then if any of the inhabitants of the predominately White town were somewhere celebrating too. I stared at the screen in the hip Inman Park area with my brother and mixture of folks of different races, and we took to the streets and started shouting and laughing with strangers in the street, “Yes we can! Yes, we can.” I was so hopeful. I had not lived through what our parents had experienced as children in the Jim Crow South, or fully understood what our grandmother who was born in 1918 had seen in her day, but I’d had my own taste of racism. I had received a unique education from the time our parents moved us from our hometown of Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Russellville. My father had accepted a nuclear chemist position at AP&L, now Entergy, and I’m sure my parents too were filled with hope as they moved into a new home in our all-White neighborhood

Pain Cannot Destroy Us
Get PDFI haven’t written any fiction or poetry in almost three months. There, I said it. That’s a hard confession to make, for someone who considers herself a full-time writer. I haven’t been doing my job (or at least the most important part of it) in a quarter of a year. Oh, I’ve been blogging, editing, reading, submitting, networking, etc. But we all know that the most important part of being a writer is writing. The rest is just playing dress-up without it. I haven’t told this to anyone until now. I am ashamed. And the worst part? It’s not writer’s block. At least that would be a mildly acceptable excuse: “Oh, I’ve had writer’s block for months now! It’s just awful.” But no. I’m bursting with ideas and stories begging me to write them. And it’s not laziness, either. I am a lot of things, but I am not lazy. It also has nothing to do with confidence. I have plenty of belief in my ability, and I’m not afraid of success. I’m afraid of my own emotions
Beginning at the Beginning; Review of American Short Fiction, Winter/Spring 2008
Get PDFWe are all amateurs at the beginning. And while the latest issue of American Short Fiction includes strictly established authors, beginning writers can take heart: The well-established also had to sit in the slush pile before getting discovered and they too had their share of rejection letters. Thanks to some in-depth biographical notes, we are able to see how important American Short Fiction (and literary magazines in general) has been in launching the careers of some of our now-favorite writers. For its fortieth anniversary issue, this journal has done a beautiful job of showcasing the talent and diversity of its contributors, while also announcing itself as a significant fixture in many authors\u27 lives
Boston-based Lit Mag Showcases Best of the Best; Review of Ploughshares, Winter 2015-2016
Get PDFI signed up to be a part of The Review Review back in late January of this year. My first assignment arrived in a very comforting yellow envelope, my name handwritten—I was happy; I had been waiting for my first literary journal to arrive and the suspense of which one I’d receive incubated an anticipation I hadn’t felt since I was a kid waiting for magazines and letters to make it my way. I let the package sit on my desk and allowed it to coagulate some of the gravity in the room until I couldn’t resist any longer. When opened, I sighed in defeat. I recognized the symbol of the uppercase P, the 1/5th of the top cover dedicated to the title blocks, its proud etching: AT EMERSON COLLEGE. Ploughshares. This is the worst thing that could have happened to me
Family Reads Children’s Issue of Architecture-Focused Literary Magazine, Strongly Approves; Review of Soiled, Issue 8
Get PDFSoiled exists at the intersection of literature and architecture. Let me rephrase that. Soiled owns the intersection of literature and architecture. This artist-led, Chicago-based project, now offering its 8th issue, narrates a playfully sincere and seriously humorous exploration of oft-overlooked dimensions of our built environment. Each issue is thematized around a different exploration and the works written and illustrated by architects and designers. Issue 8, onceuponascrapers: architectural children\u27s stories, is elegantly illustrated, delicately told, and intricately woven into one of the most exciting literary magazines I\u27ve encountered in some time
