Servant Leadership (focus)

Description

Objective

This introductory course is for those organizations that want to adopt Servant Leadership and understand that this model will challenge their manager's beliefs and behaviours. According to this model, the leader exists to serve the people instead of the people working to serve the leader.

Despite being practised in some top-ranking companies and having received a strong consensus in academic research, Servant Leadership is seldom applied in many EU companies. It could be as Servant Leadership is counterintuitive in some cultures. In SL, the main goal of the leader is to serve!
