The Echoes of Service
Get PDFI hear the garland steps …. zamzamzamzam. Who is coming? ‘Tis our king our manager. He’s got water in his bowl and towel on his shoulders. Would he wash my legs too? Such reversal! Never, not me a follower! That humbles Him too low! Perhaps such preferred humility is not subordination. He’s got reserved power in his hands and remains first amongst equals
The Women’s Project—A Power Balance Issue in the Core of a Spanish Feminist Organization: A Case Study Inquiry Through the Lens of Servant-Leadership and Feminism
Get PDFThe Women’s Project (TWP) is a Spanish based non-profit organization that hired an external consultant to analyze its organizational conflict between the main leaders and its members. TWP requested consultancy services to present a background case study about the organization through the lens of different philosophical approaches that can pose a series of reflective questions that may be used to initiate an internal dialogue towards practicing conflict resolution and a healing process of self-care. The consultant presents the final report with a background case study called The Women’s Project—A power balance issue at the core of a feminist organization with two philosophical analyses. The first analysis uses a servant-leadership lens, which is a new philosophical perspective to TWP. This analysis focuses on the ideas of using power, practicing trust, and applying the 10 characteristics of the servant-leadership. The second analysis uses a Feminist organizational lens following the organization feminist selfidentification. This analysis focuses on a feminist leadership process of distributing power based on the idea of the organization’s collective way of leading. The consultant concludes with a brief reflection on the intersection between servant-leadership and Feminist analyses regarding the organization’s background and conflict. This paper suggests that servant-leadership and Feminist lenses are compatible approaches toward creating a practical inquiry that may help this women’s organization in facing its internal conflict scenario while encouraging sustainable growth
Do Women Stand Back to Move Forward? Gender Differences in Top US Business Leaders’ Messages of Servant-Leadership
Get PDFThe persistent absence of women in the upper echelons of management is an issue that continues to occupy the concern of governments, businesses, and leadership researchers. Despite a plethora of research to understand the reasons behind the persistent gender leadership gap, actual progress in practice remains minimal, with only 5.1% of Fortune1000 executives being women (Catalyst, 2016). One potential reason behind the perpetual systemic bias against women may be the rigid underlying androcentric philosophies of leading (Eicher-Catt, 2005; Morales, 2019). Servantleadership presents an alternative approach to concept of leading that is gender-integrative (Lehrke & Sowden, 2017; Reynolds, 2011; Reynolds, 2016)
Fifteen Brief Insights on Servant-Leadership1
Get PDF“I have come to believe that we should insist upon having choices and making decisions for ourselves, rather than having decisions forced upon us by others—no matter how well-intentioned. We should also become powerful advocates for allowing others to have those same rights. Yes, we live in an increasingly interdependent world, and we should take very seriously the careful balancing of personal choice with the greater social good. However, as Gordon Livingston says in his excellent book, Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart: Thirty True Things You Need to Know Now: ‘Nobody likes to be told what to do. It seems too obvious to mention, and yet look how much that passes for intimate communication involves admonitions and instructions.’ This is another place where Robert Greenleaf’s ideas have great relevance—particularly around his encouragement of the use of persuasion as much as possible. Instead of telling others what to do, or what to think, I believe the world would be a better place if we saved our admonitions for ourselves and expected to persuade others (and to be persuaded in turn).
An Evaluation of Moonlight’s Intersectional Pedagogy: How Does Identity Affect Leadership?
Get PDFI grew up as white, catholic, American, heterosexual male in a top 5% income household in a safe neighborhood, with some lifealtering, yet not terminal medical issues. Because of this privilege, I was able to focus on my unlimited education to the near exclusion of all else for the first two decades of my life, allowing me to fall in love with learning, with challenging intellectual discussions, with magis, and with cura personalis. Yet as my undergraduate career draws to a close, I find myself questioning how those circumstances affected what I learned, questioning if and how the self-awareness I thought I had gathered may have been misinformed. What obscured history, even from the past 100 years, have I been allowed to neglect through unconsciously following a dominant narrative educational system? The rioting response to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, among many other black people, at the hands of the police gives urgency to my search for stories and perspectives forced down by the dominant narrative’s will to standardize and suppress (Sabur et al., 2020)
Burnout on the Front Lines: Physicians and Nurses as Servant-Leaders During COVID-19
Get PDFIndividuals rely on physicians and nurses during some of the most critical moments in their lives. The United States fell victim to a widespread health pandemic in early 2020 caused by the spread of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that paralyzed the country and devastated the global economy. The international health crisis thrust first responders to the front lines of an evolving war unlike anything society has seen in a century. As of September 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported more than 6.5 million confirmed cases and 194,155 deaths in the United States (CDC, 2020). The cities most affected by the first wave of the pandemic were those in the country’s largest metropolitan areas, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago (Muro et al., 2020). These cities represent the three largest metropolitan areas, which together account for 17 percent of the nation’s economic activity (Muro et al., 2020)
Mycorrhizal Inoculation Mitigates Damage from an Intermediate, but Not Severe, Frost Event for a Cool-Season Perennial Bunchgrass
Get PDFExtreme cold events can damage plant tissues, altering growth and reproduction. Soil fungi may help plants tolerate environmental stressors, but the role these microbes play during episodes of severe cold warrants further examination. Using the bunchgrass Elymus canadensis L., we tested how inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi alters plant tolerance to freezing temperatures (tested at –8 °C and –16 °C). We found that, regardless of mycorrhizal inoculation, E. canadensis exposed to –16 °C exhibited greater tissue damage, less tiller growth, and fewer reproductive tillers than plants exposed to the control or –8 °C conditions. Plants exposed to –8 °C and –16 °C displayed greater levels of visible damage compared with the control plants. Mycorrhizae reduced damage to tillers in the –8 °C treatment, but had less effect on tiller damage in the control or –16 °C treatments. Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi limited the tiller number for E. canadensis, but only at the control temperature, suggesting that mycorrhizae may impose costs on E. canadensis under benign thermal conditions. Our study demonstrates that extreme temperatures can affect multiple components of growth in E. canadensis, and that the costs and benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, where found, depend upon the thermal environment. Our findings reinforce the overarching importance of historically rare, but increasingly common, environmental extremes in shaping the growth of plants
