Greenleaf's Style of Servant-Leadership Compared to the Styles of Contemporary Educational Theorists (Covey, Schein, & Bass)
McBath, Gabrielle L.
Journal on Educational Psychology, v12 n1 p43-50 May-Jul 2018
Morality and ethics are two instrumental facets within academia. Often however, with increasing federal, state, and local mandates, educational administration loses sight of these two criteria (Kowalski, 2008). Greenleaf (2010/1977), countering this dilemma, established a visionary leadership-style known as Servant-Leadership, wherein the leader humbled himself to the status of serving others holistically within the applicable environment (Greenleaf, 2003; Spears, 2004). His model of leadership incorporated guidance and fellowship. This paper will compare his model of Servant-Leadership to three educational/ organizational leaders of our current era: Covey's conscious versus ego, Schein's clarity of vision and the culture of the environment, and Bass' empowerment as individual consideration.
