    Discerning Service: The Leader as Servant and the Ignatian Tradition

    Get PDF
    Throughout his spiritual autobiography, Ignatius of Loyola humbly refers to himself as the pilgrim. Ironically, it is a group of pilgrims in Herman Hesse s The Journey to The East that inspires Robert Greenleaf s understanding of the servant as leader. In the late 16th century, Ignatius witnessed and was a product of the turbulent European Reformation the reason infusion of the Renaissance, and the expansive globalization of the Age of Exploration. Greenleaf, an executive for AT&T throughout the mid-twentieth century, witnessed the American countercultural movement of the nineteen sixties and the institutionalization of the American workplace. Both men provided a concrete vision to promulgate and encourage human flourishing in the midst of change. Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus (or the Jesuits), crafted a concrete spiritual methodology to allow practitioners to search for God in all things. Greenleaf promoted the notion of the servant as leader as a panacea to the corrosive domineering forms of leadership he experienced at the time

    Altruism and Altruistic love: Intrinsic Motivation for Servant-Leadership

    In a world where self-interest and selfishness are often a way of life, it is a mystery to see altruistic people commit their lives to the benefit of others, while self-centered people are becoming more isolated and focused on themselves, rather than others. Seltzer (2016) explained that the self-centeredness of narcissists perpetuates their grandiosity, sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, and exploitative relationships. Self-centered narcissists perceive themselves as different from others; they lack understanding of self and value for others at a fundamental level. Understanding of self is very critical in life, it includes knowing one s agendas and the self adequately so that one can choose as freely as possible, in order to strengthen and give life to others (Underwood, 2002, p. 73)

    The Will to (Share) Power: Privilege, Positionality, and the Servant-Leader

    As an administrator at a university, I find myself reflecting on the cycles of years that mark the time our students walk the sidewalks of our campus. As one considers the last four years for our traditional graduating seniors, the formational national landscape that emerges is a critical one. As first year students, they watched protests erupt in Ferguson over the shooting of high school graduate Michael Brown (Bosman & Fitzsimmons, 2014) and immigration debates across Europe due to the Syrian refugee crisis (Robins-Early, 2015). As sophomores, they learned of the intended oil pipeline across the indigenous land of the North Dakota Standing Rock Tribe, a hate-inspired shooting in a Charleston black church, and the rising candidacy of the first female presidential contender (Chozich, 2015; Horowitz, Corasaniti & Southall, 2015; Thorbecke, 2016)

    Servant-Leadership Decision-Making Rubric: A Greenleaf-Inspired Assessment Tool for Employee-Based Issues

    Get PDF
    Making decisions that directly affect others is often a stressful endeavor for those in leadership positions. This tension may derive from variables such as personal relationships with employees or concerns on how one may be perceived after an action is executed in the workplace, causing the leader in question to make reactionary decisions against their better judgment (Rosanas, 2013). Compounding the scope of a leader s decision-making activity are additional conditions ranging from potential lack of experience with a particular situation to being overwhelmed with several vague options instead of a set of well thought out possibilities to choose from (Grunig & Kuhn, 2013). The imprecise nature of decision-making lends itself out to further frustrations as one s inability to fully comprehend the intricacies associated with an issue can create greater hesitation and anxiety (Lipshitz & Strauss, 1997)
