Servant-Leadership, developed by Greenleaf (1970), is a leadership theory which prioritizes the follower. Greenleaf contended that putting others first as leaders could lead to a change in society. Patterson (2003) developed a model from Greenleaf’s theory which identified several attributes of the Servant-Leadership model including agapao love, humility, altruism, vision, trust, empowerment, and service. In the military, researchers have used Patterson’s construct to conclude that Servant-Leadership does exist in the military. Though some research involving Servant-Leadership and the military has been conducted, there is a dearth in the literature. In the United States Air Force, leadership development for Non-Commissioned Officers specifically focuses on teaching leadership theories aligning with the Air Force Core Values. Servant-Leadership theory is not currently taught in Air Force Core Values or connected to leadership training. Therefore, the current study links Servant-Leadership and Air Force Core Values and advocates for inclusion of Servant-Leadership in military training.

This article explores the inevitable and unchecked conflicts that arise between people and how it can turn into unmanageable rage and harmed relationships. Both instigators and recipients of conflict are ultimately wounded by its accompanying outcomes. By sharing several examples from my life, including the threat of harm from a deadly weapon towards my three-year-old son by his uncle, I demonstrate the hurt caused by conflict and how principles of servant-leaders can help individuals restore positive associations. When faith is stronger than the bitterness and hostility that often plagues humanity, love offers a longer-term perspective thereby opening a way towards forgiveness. The foundation of healthy relationships and a strong community is established by serving one another rather than focusing on one’s own self-interests. By implementing ten characteristics of servant-leadership including awareness, listening, empathy, and healing, I contend that people can transcend conflict and overcome relational obstacles. This in turn allows people to exhibit a greater capacity for love and forgiveness for the optimal well-being of one another and society at large.

Servant-leadership is increasingly being taught in colleges, universities, and elsewhere. Approaches to teaching vary, but often involve a combination of reading, writing, modeling and practicing it. As college professors, working primarily with graduate students, we have learned over the years that teaching servant-leadership includes a strong effort at modeling it for students. In this essay, we share our approaches in how we structure servant-leadership courses. Some elements include Community, Relevant Learning, Ethically-Driven, Coaching/Mentoring Focus, Humor, Growth over Product, and Mutual Respect of Intellectual Capital. The selection and structure of key learning materials is also a crucial aspect of teaching and modeling servant-leadership in courses. The inclusion of key texts by Robert K. Greenleaf, such as Servant-Leadership, and On Becoming a Servant-Leader provide an important foundation grounding, as does Journey to the East, by Hermann Hesse (the book that inspired Robert Greenleaf in coining the term, servant-leader. The practice of silence, as an aid to becoming a better listener, has also proven to be most helpful. The servant-leader classroom is so much more than creating a culture of ‘let’s all get along’. Diving into the literature on the topic, building examples and assignments into the course structure and content, and then modeling the principles of the discipline helps to facilitate a culture of care. Servant-leadership is certainly easier to talk about than to consistently do. But it’s more than worth it to try—as we open the minds and hearts of our students (and ourselves) to the lifestyle of serving.
在学院、大学和其他地方，越来越多的人开始学习仆人式领导。 教学方法各不相同，但通常都是阅读、写作、示范和实践相结合。 作为主要为研究生授课的大学教授，多年来我们认识到，教授仆人式领导包括为学生树立榜样。 在这篇文章中，我们将分享我们如何组织仆人式领导课程的方法。 其中的一些要素包括：社区、相关学习、道德驱动、注重教练/辅导、幽默、成长重于产品，以及智力资本的相互尊重。关键学习材料的选择和结构也是在课程中教授和示范仆人式领导的一个重要方面。 罗伯特-格林里夫（Robert K. Greenleaf）的《仆人式领导》（Servant-Leadership）和《论成为仆人式领导者》（On Becoming a Servant-Leader）等重要著作，以及赫尔曼-黑塞（Hermann Hesse）的《东方之旅》（这本书启发了罗伯特-格林里夫创造了 "仆人式领导者 "一词），都为课程提供了重要的基础。 事实证明，保持沉默有助于成为更好的倾听者。 仆人式领导课堂不仅仅是创造一种 "大家和睦相处 "的文化。深入研究有关该主题的文献，在课程结构和内容中加入实例和作业，然后示范该学科的原则，这些都有助于促进关怀文化的形成。 仆人式领导当然是说起来容易做起来难。但是，当我们打开学生（和我们自己）的思想和心灵，让他们接受服务的生活方式时，我们就值得尝试。

Healthcare education programs are tasked to develop the leadership capacity of students in the preparation for them to become future healthcare providers who can holistically address the needs of complex communities and our society at large. Educational institutions often look to experiential learning opportunities where students can be active participants in the exploration of new leadership behaviors. In particular, service-learning experiences may help support the development of servant leadership qualities. These experiences and qualities both aid in the development of empathetic, inclusive practitioners and professions. A gap in literature exists on health profession students’ perceptions of these experiences and if they are influential to the development of servant leadership behaviors, thus warranting further examination. This paper is a qualitative investigation of servant-leadership using Photovoice methodology. Graduate healthcare students studied the concepts of servant-leadership then engaged in an international service-learning opportunity. Broad and deep contextualization of photographs taken during the time abroad explored the five themes of servant leadership: stewardship, partnership, obligation, emotional healing, and elevated purpose. A novel finding was the emergence of intentionally actioned cultural awareness within healthcare service delivery with the authors newly defining the term, cultural humilitence. Conclusions were drawn that support strong researcher and student-generated contextualization alignment with literature-based constructs of leadership and service, and the need for investment by institutions to cultivate experiences (domestic and international) which build interprofessional, transprofessional, and culturally aware teams.

In the polarized context of today’s society ideological differences on how to address issues of race funnel the angst from riot-stricken streets into school board meetings, sour social media posts, and cancel both careers and friendships. This article examines the critical critique of what has been called third wave anti-racism contrasting this critique with foundational tenants of critical race theory. Servant-leadership is presented as a preferred alternative leading to continuing conversation with tender hearts, which choose to remember the abuses of the past while seeking renewed reconciliation for the sake of future generations.

The purpose of this article is to examine corporate social responsibility (CSR) from a Christian perspective and to study Jesus’ leadership and speculate whether Jesus would have built a CSR pyramid. First, literature is reviewed in the areas of servant-leadership, how Jesus leads, and corporate social responsibility. Following is a discussion of faith integration perspectives and models, biblical and theological approaches, and whether Jesus would build a pyramid. This article ends with a conclusion.
