Event Description

We’ve probably all heard this statement, made by John Maxwell: "People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care."

Think about that for a moment...can you really care about the people you work with without expressing it through service to them? I don’t think so. And in a nutshell, that’s what servant leadership is all about – concern for others and taking action about those concerns when necessary.

In this half-day workshop, we’ll delve into what the phrase "Servant Leadership" really involves. Is it just another buzz word or does it have some real value? How can you incorporate it into your own leadership style – or do you already do that? What are some things you might want to be careful of when focusing on servant leadership?

We’ll also look at who you are – really – and how that affects how you perceive and implement servant leadership. What is your personality? Do you have emotional intelligence? Understanding yourself as a human being can work wonders in your ability to be an effective servant leader.

Remember: "The goal of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader. The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves."
– J. Carla Nortcutt
