What is servant leadership? Is it a philosophy, or a theory, or a set of values, or a list of characteristics, or a series of practices—or some combination of all of these things? Professor Stephen Prosser addresses these questions in the context of the literature and research on servant leadership in the new essay Servant Leadership: More Philiosophy, Less Theory. After reviewing the ways in which people try to describe and explain leadership, he provides six reasons why servant leadership is a philosophy, not a theory, concerning service and the practice of leadership. The essay is concise, and designed for the practitioner. To buy copies of the essay, click here.

Logo
 The Greenleaf Center’s logo is a variation on the geometrical figure called a "Mobius strip," named after German mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius who invented it in 1858. A Mobius strip is a one-sided surface that is constructed from a rectangle by holding one end fixed, rotating the opposite end through 180 degrees, and then attaching it to the first end, thereby giving the appearance of a two-sided figure. The Mobius strip was chosen as the Center’s logo because it symbolizes the servant-leader concept—servanthood merges into leadership and back into servanthood again, in a fluid and continuous pattern. It also symbolizes the Greenleaf Center’s desire to both serve others and lead others who are interested in leadership and service.
