Servant Leadership

Friday 27th September 2024, 1:00pm - 2:00pm

Delivered via Zoom

Leadership is one of the most critical factors in the success or failure of an organization and can greatly impact the health and well-being of all participants, especially lower participants (Kendrick, Kaetrena Davis, 2020). In Robert Greenleaf’s 1970 book, Servant as Leader, he posits that a leader should be a servant first, seeking the health and development of all participants in an organization. The purpose of our research is to investigate how much has been written in the periodical literature of librarianship about servant leadership, the nature of the coverage, and if servant leadership is being implemented in libraries as it was conceptualized by Greenleaf.

There will be time at the end of the session for a Q&A so that you can put your questions forward to Darlene and Simone.
