Slide1

Seven Pillars of Servant Leadership.

Carolyn Crippen, Ph.D.Leadership StudiesUniversity of Victoria

1Slide2

Greenleaf’s (1970) Servant-Leader

2

A S-L is servant first…It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead.

The best test is:

Do those served grow as persons?

Do they while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, and more likely themselves to become servants?

And what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit, or at least not be further harmed?

(p. 7)Slide3

Sipe & Frick’s (2009) Servant-Leader

3 A

S-L is a person of character who

puts people first.

S/he

is a skilled communicator, a compassionate collaborator who has foresight, is a system thinker, and leads with moral authority.

(p

. 4)Slide4

Leadership Shift4

Humility

certainly

helps limit the development of a toxic, defensive, in-your-face leader into one who draws upon the strength of others.

Basically leaders’ distrust in S-L stems from their own insecurity and egotism. They do not have the confidence that others will follow them, if they cannot exercise coercive power indiscriminately.

(Sipe & Frick, 2009, p. 29)Slide5

Humility

5 The practice of S-L as embodied in the trait of humility requires courage of intentional vulnerability and voluntary surrender of one’s ego for the sake of others and the organization. Of course no-one can do this overnight. Some never begin the journey, while precious few stay with it to competition. But the

journey

is the key for those seekers known as Servant-Leaders.

(Sipe & Frick, 2009, p.29)Slide6

First Steps6

Be courageous : intentionally make yourself vulnerable

to the possibility that you are not right all the time.

Ask yourself:

Am I right?

What is my second thought?

Am I doing a wise thing?

Will this action meet the conditions of Greenleaf’s Best Test?

(Sipe & Frick, 2009, p. 30)Slide7

Serves a Higher Purpose

7Joseph Jaworski

states,

With Greenleaf, I have come to believe that if we are willing to take the most difficult journey toward self-discovery and lifelong learning, we will lead lives filled with meaning and adventure. Moreover, we will gain the capacity to create and shape the future for ourselves and our organizations in ways we can hardly imagine.

(Synchronicity, 1998, p. 21)Slide8

The 21 competencies12

We realize that not every accomplished S-L demonstrates all twenty-one traits all of time. But whenever any traits are present in adequate measure, and as they accumulate, they serve to enrich and fortify the S-L and those who surround him or her.These competencies can also represent a set of performance appraisal metrics- barometers of professional growth for the continuous evaluation of your leadership strengths and development needs.Slide13

Ask Yourself- The Personal Journey13

Identify and reflect upon what needs changing.Express a desire to change.Find and claim incentives to change.Gain access to knowledge and skills associated with the target behaviour.

Implementation of 7 Pillars15

Cannot be implemented with a few memos and pep talks.Requires a dedicated effort of study, skill practice, feedback, and reflection about your deepest values.Everything begins with the individual (Greenleaf).Servant Leadership starts with you.

Only then can it become embedded into your organization’s operations, climate, and culture.
