Servant-Leadership as a Pathway to Success for Foreign-Born Leaders
Get PDFImmigrants have consistently been recognized as significant contributors to the United States economy, science, and innovation (Vandor & Franke, 2016). However, there remains a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the experiences and leadership development process of foreign-born leaders (FBLs). This article addresses this gap by highlighting the positive contributions of FBLs while noting the relatively small pool of effective FBLs in comparison to the large immigrant population in the United States, suggesting substantial untapped potential. The author explores common challenges faced by FBLs and emphasizes that overcoming these obstacles is integral to FBLs’ leadership development journey. The central argument of the article posits that understanding and attributing meaning to these struggles is essential for overcoming them and that servant-leadership provides a viable pathway to success for FBLs. While the onus of becoming effective leaders primarily lies with the FBLs themselves, the article concludes by offering examples for how supervisors can create a supportive environment conducive to FBLs’ growth. The exploration of FBLs’ experiences and their leadership development is particularly important given the current talent shortage, a condition expected to persist well into the late 2030s and beyond (Bremen, 2023). By redirecting attention and investing in this neglected group, there is potential to maximize their collective impact and contributions. FBLs can become a valuable part of the solution to the talent shortage issue
Humility and Servant-Leadership: Toward a Solution of Pastoral Narcissism
Get PDFThe world contains healthy and toxic leaders, and these leaders make an impact—for better or worse—on their followers. While healthy Christian pastors may exude humility and positively affect congregants, the issue of narcissism among pastors is more prevalent than one may expect. This article explores the literature related to humility, servant-leadership, and narcissism—painting the ideal of humble pastors, linking the ideal with servant-leadership, presenting the problem of narcissistic pastors, and moving toward the beginning stages of proposed solutions. Depending on the severity level, churches may opt for a period of renewed growth from the pastor or outright replacement of the pastor. The article concludes with recommendations for application and future research

A Brief Introduction to Better Boards for a Better World
Get PDFThis short essay includes the Introduction and Advance Praise from Better Boards for a Better World: An Integrated Practice of Policy Governance® and Servant-Leadership, by John P. Bohley, Jr. and Larry C. Spears (2023, BookBaby Publishing). 244 pages. $35. ISBN 978-1-66789-954-1. Better Boards for a Better World – a daunting challenge. In the pages that follow, we will describe an approach to board governance that we believe will enable boards to unleash their potential to become better boards and to make significant contributions to the creation of a better world through embracing Policy Governance and servant-leadership. Our approach involves bringing together the comprehensive system of board governance called Policy Governance that was developed by John Carver and the constellation of core values embodied in the servant-leadership concept articulated by Robert K. Greenleaf. Policy Governance provides the logical governance framework promoting efficient, effective, accountable governance while servant-leadership provides the altruistic values that can drive the system. You might say that Policy Governance is the head while servant-leadership is the heart of the powerful synergistic approach to board governance that we are envisioning. While the “head and heart” analogy may be somewhat of an oversimplification, it is helpful in understanding what we see as the major contributions of Policy Governance and servant-leadership to the approach that we delineate in this book. Our hope is that you will be able to find in our book guidance that will assist your board and other boards to unleash their potential for governance excellence and to make significant contributions to the creation of a better world through an integrated practice of Policy Governance and servant-leadership
