Servant Leadership

Prior to attending The Chicago School of Professional Psychology I obtained my degree at Grand Canyon University.   As a woman I felt it was necessary for me to obtain my Masters in Leadership.  During my studies I learned effective leadership skills that would be effective and efficient. In addition,  I developed a Servant Leadership style that is essential when working with people and for people.  What is a Servant Leader? A Servant Leader is someone who helps people to a higher level by leading people at a higher level.
The mindset of a Servant Leader:

The leader has responsibility for the followers; Leaders have a responsibility towards society and those who are disadvantaged; and Leaders want to help others best do this by leading them.

There are two criteria of servant leadership:

• The people served grow as individuals, becoming 'healthier, wiser, more autonomous and more likely themselves to become servants' (Greenleaf, 1977).
• The extent to which the leadership benefits those who are least advantaged in society (or at least does not disadvantage them).
