The MBTI measures four dimensions, which are represented by letters. People can be extraverted (E) or introverted (I); sensory(S) or intuitive (N); thinking (T) or feeling (F); judging (J) or perceiving (P) (Keirsey, 1998, p

¶ … strong leader. To be a leader in any field requires a ton of empathy, and a desire to want to do right by those working or learning underneath one's supervision and authority (Spears, 2005, p 2)
However, a CEO who recognizes and accepts reasonable mistakes by people throughout the organization fosters an atmosphere that promotes moderate risk-taking and collaboration. These two different environments have a major impact on the culture of the organization and its performance (Peterson, Martorana and Owen, 1998)
Identify / Explain two philosophical worldviews that support servant leadership In the peer-reviewed publication Journal of Leadership Studies, author Cara Meixner explains that she had taught a course called "Foundations of Leadership" four previous times in the past and was scheduled to teach it again at the university level. But Meixner admitted that while she had approached the course "…lovingly and mindfully" in the past, she couldn't bring that same attitude and approach back into play (Meixner, 81)
The members of the League didn't have those qualities at first which is why they were so lost and confused without Leo. In the journal Business Ethics: A European Review (Rozuel, et al
It is about having an understanding of one's own self in a spiritual sense; there can be no worldview without a firm grasp of the fact that morality and ethics being with the self. In other words, how can one see beyond the day-to-day pressures and tension if one can't see within themselves? Identify a religious world view that supports servant leadership In the peer-reviewed Evangelical Review of Theology, author Derek Tidball explains that in the world of Roman Empire leadership, men were "masculine, powerful and concerned with status" (Tidball, 2012, 31)
Instead, it is largely about how a person interacts with a group. "Leading at a higher level includes both results and relationships" (Blanchard and Miller, p

Looking at the examples of centralized and decentralized organizations, it becomes clear that while the Jewish faith was largely decentralized at the time of Christ, and the leadership it did have was, in many ways, corrupt, there were times and places where a coercive model was appropriate. "Rules need to be set and enforced, or the system collapses" (Brafman & Beckstrom, p
The crisis could not be solved by simply replacing the money. This had led me to think about a statement Jim Collins made, "We must reject the idea- well intentioned, but dead wrong- that the primary path to greatness in social sectors is to become 'more like a business'" (Collins, p
Rather than looking for honor for themselves, servant-leaders rejoice in honoring others and seeing others honored. Because Greenleaf was not inspired by Scripture, I was initially wary of adopting his model for a church setting because I understand that "Wholesale or indiscriminate adoption of corporate business leadership styles to acquire their attendant cultural credibility, relevance, or success is to take a long step away from biblical origins and risk importing cultural leadership values that are not in sync with biblical leadership values" (Elliott)
Kenosis also helps remove some of the hierarchical structures that can impede the church. "Scripture does not attempt to set forth a series of hierarchical relationships but to communicate to us an inner attitude of mutual subordination" (Foster, p
Theology of Servant Leadership It came as a surprise to me to learn that servant leadership is not a uniquely Christian concept. Robert Greenleaf, who is credited with creating the modern servant leadership movement, did not approach servant leadership from a Christian perspective, but from a secular one; Greenleaf was inspired by reading Herman Hesse's Journey to the East (Greenleaf, p
It builds powerful expectations in others about us that often translate into expectations we have for ourselves. Success gives you the power to get more resources, more relationships, and raise your expectations for your future success" (McKenna, Foreward)
The disciples understood that Christ was an example of servant leadership. In what is termed "kenosis as leadership," the disciples, most notably Paul, endeavored to make themselves as much like Christ as they could to provide an example for those who would follow them (Sims, p
I could not help but think of West's description of the Marines and their expectation of the leadership. The very qualities that the Marines think of as critical in its leadership, "decisiveness, integrity, dependability, judgment, justice, tact, initiative, enthusiasm, bearing, unselfishness, courage, knowledge, loyalty, and endurance," are the same qualities it seeks to instill in even its lowest-ranked recruits (West 2004, p
A recent study found that in order to manage the needs of followers effectively, church leadership needed to take a servant-leader approach. More aggressive styles of leadership were not culturally compatible with the Chinese culture, particularly among first genera6tion Chinese immigrants (Baldomir, 2008)
These concepts are essential for the development of social cooperation. In stage 6 of Kohlberg's theory, people are viewed as ends-in-themselves, rather than as tool for the attainment of some other good (Gorman, Duffy, & Hefferman, 1982)
Robert Greenleaf helped to define what is meant by the servant leader. His definition includes this question, "Do others around the servant-leader become wiser, freer, more autonomous, healthier, and better able themselves to become servants? Will the least privileged of the society be benefited or at least not further deprived?" (Greenleaf, Spears, & Covey, 2002, p
