Today there is a Greenleaf Servant Leadership Center in Indianapolis that specializes in teaching servant leadership to business leaders. And business leaders are discovering that servant leadership is the best kind of leadership. One of the companies that used Greenleaf's principles extensively was TDIndustries. Jack Lowe, Sr., the owner of the company, ordered 100 copies of Greenleaf's first essay published on servant leadership. And TD credits the work they have been doing on servant leadership to helping them earn this important recognition.
Colleges offer courses for entrepreneurs in servant leadership.
Dr. Greg Stone teaches a course on servant leadership at Regent University in Virginia. The values that we teach in our MBA courses build upon the base that the leader operates as a servant to the followers. This term 'servant' does not mean a slave or a subservient being. Rather, it is a caring, humble individual who seeks the good of all, as the group of people whom he or she leads accomplishes the organization's objectives. One example is found in John 13 when Christ bent down to wash his apostles' feet over their objections.
