So true, Peter Senge has been a big proponent of Servant-Leadership for years.
The problem continues to be the same -"Majority of American Leaders have to be taught and educated on Servant Leadership."
I wonder how many of the Major MBA Schools teach Servant-Leadership?
I guess it would not go over after years of finance classes.
qualityg...thanks for the comment. I spoke about Business schools a little this past Monday...haven't gotten around to doing a full post on the subject, but will soon. I think a lot of the ethical issues that corporations are dealing with today, not to mention the lack of quality management ability, stem from the MBA curriculum as you suggest....and just adding a token ethics course won't cut it....
Sometimes a "name or title" creates an expectation that one will develop without out the information and knowledge that support it.
Many Leaders be it public or private has an ego change when "leader" is attached to their name or title.
The name "Servant-Leadership is one of those words. It implies one who is above others. When the true meaning is determined the concept is not one that a leader feels they have earned. People should be servants to them.
This will be a hard paradigm to break. Try doing a survey in your class when you first introduce Servant-Leadership to see what students perceive it to mean.
