What is servant leadership? Robert K. Greenleaf coined the phrase servant leadership in the 1970s. Since that time, the concept of the leader as a servant has been made even more prominent through the teaching and philosophy of business leaders and thinkers such as Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey, Peter Senge, M. Scott Peck, Margaret Wheatley, Ann McGeeCooper & Duane Trammell, Larry Spears, and Kent Keith. According to Greenleaf (2022), “A servant-leader focuses primarily on the growth and wellbeing of people and the communities to which they belong” (para. 3). Philosophically, Greenleaf’s organization, The Center for Servant Leadership states that servant leadership is “a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world” (para. 1). Instructions For this first research paper assignment in this course, you will write about servant leadership and profile a leader today who exemplifies servanthood. You may choose any living individual who is actively leading in some industrious capacity. Consider leaders in business, arts, education, and government to suggest a few possible directions for this paper. Step 1: Identify a Leader Choose a leader who demonstrates the key characteristics of servant leadership. You may look in any field, but the leader needs to be alive and currently serving in some industry. Step 2: Define servant leadership To profile this leader, you first will need to define servant leadership. What is it? What are the key characteristics of it? Once you have a well-researched definition and a list of servant characteristics, you can begin to profile your leader. Step 3: Profile Your Leader A profile offers the reader insight into the history of the individual. You should include pertinent biographical detail to help establish your leader’s credibility. You will also want to research his or her career development. Lastly, you will want to provide justification for why your leader choice is a good example of a servant leader. Step 4: Analysis of Servant Leadership In the final section of the paper, you will want to compare your leader to the criteria you selected to show how your leader fits the style of a servant. An in-depth analysis is required. Paper Requirements • A well-researched and well-written academic paper on a leader of your choice • A page length of eight to ten (8-10) pages, not counting title page and references •

If you format it as a deductive argument go on to explain whether you think the argument is valid or invalid, if its valid move on to explain whether it is sound or unsound. If you think the argument is best presented as inductive, discuss whether you believe it is strong or weak.

Professional associations often have student-organized chapters on college campuses. Let’s say you are a member of a campus business club, such as the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM), the American Marketing Association (AMA), the American Management Association (AMA), the Accounting Society (AS), the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), or the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP). Your club or association has managed its finances well, and therefore, it is able to fund monthly activities. However, membership dues are insufficient to cover any extras. You see the need for a special one-time seminar with a panel of experts or a keynote speaker that would benefit many business students. For example, you see value in inviting a panel of recruiters to come and discuss current job requirements and hiring processes. You must now request funding for this event.
