This month’s topic: Love Them Anyway

The Effective Starting Point for Servant Leadership

Love is a universal concept. So as a leader, how do you bring love into the workplace in a way that is appropriate?

In this month’s Servant Leadership Community of Practice, we will discuss Dr. Kent Keith’s speech, “Love Them Anyway,” which was presented at the 2023 Conference on Servant Leadership at Viterbo University. He says that “love is the effective starting point for servant leadership.”

He suggests there are eight things you can do to demonstrate that you care about your colleagues, stakeholders, and employees in the workplace.

Using small and large group discussions with peers, attendees will explore key learning lessons from Keith’s speech to:

• Answer the question: “Why is love the starting point for effective servant leadership?”
• Develop appropriate behaviors to show your colleagues, stakeholders, and employees that you care about them.
• Find unique ways to be an effective servant-leader to help your organization be successful in serving others.

This session will be facilitated by Christa Williams, Sophia Partners Executive Director and Learning Facilitator.

*The session will be recorded.
