Abstract

Greenleaf’s concept of the servant-leader is garnering increasing attention in the leadership literature of the present day. With many of Fortune magazine’s ‘Best Companies to Work For’ ascribing to servant leadership, organizations have experienced not only a sustaining excellence regarding the bottom line, but also the kind of communal resilience and commitment to humanity that accompanies people of foresight and confidence everywhere. But what are some of the most salient components of the servant-leader, and what is the interior nature of those who serve? Several chapters of this book go into components that may characterize servant leadership. Here, we specifically posit forgiveness and gratitude as hallmarks of those whose lives are committed to servant leadership.
