when the going gets tough

/in /by

Servant leadership is based on ethical behavior (Spears, 2002). Greenleaf (2002) saw the corruption of institutions, understood the lure of traditional power, and advocated using power in a different manner (Narvaez, 1990). Many leaders get caught in the web of hierarchical leadership and view servant leadership as contradictory (Spears, 2002). Servant leaders do not compromise their ethical principles in order to be successful (Northouse, 2016).

  • How would you encourage someone on a journey of servant leadership to respond to situations when the easy thing to do is not necessarily the right thing?
  • Give an example of ethical servant leadership.
  • What actions would you encourage the leader to take to practice servant leadership in a difficult situation?
  • Why is servant leadership a better course of action than coercion and intimidation?
