Assignment

1. Learn about current trends in servant leadership by conducting your own research and locating an article that illustrates how the principles of servant leadership are being employed in the workplace, as part of a volunteer or service effort, or in an individual's personal life. In the Main Forum, post a short summary and a link to the article. Discuss what you learned from reading the article and whether or not you would consider applying servant leadership in a similar way.

2. The article "Why Isn't Servant Leadership More Prevalent?" poses the question, "But if servant leadership is as effective as portrayed in recent research, why isn't it more prevalent?" Using what you have learned about the principles of servant leadership and your own experiences, address this question. Use examples to support your hypotheses.
