Here are the resources that we use to get things done with ease.

Introduction to Servant Leadership

Servant Leadership
Servant Leadership is a management style and a process that prioritizes the greater good over individual interests. Nonprofit Servant Leaders serve employees, program participants and the community with humility, intention and care. When considering servant leadership the goal is to understand service as a leadership model and discuss its significance, characteristics and role in nonprofit management.

What distinguishes servant leadership from other leadership models is the connection to community and commitment to developing others holistically.
