LDRS 647M - Sustainability in Servant Leadership (3 S. Hrs)

This course explores the concept of sustainability in servant leadership. One of the most important ways in which servant leaders can serve others and their organizations is through their own vitality and health. Those who take on the mantel of leadership from a servant leadership orientation often have an increased propensity toward serving and giving of themselves to those they lead. As such servant leaders face a heightened risk of depleting their internal resources leaving them burned out and ineffective. In this course participants will interact with and explore various dimensions of soul care for themselves in order to develop a more holistic approach to spiritual formation. Armed with a greater insight into the need for a sustainable approach to leadership participants will be better equipped to care themselves and those entrusted to them. In addition participants will also be encouraged to reflect and wrestle with ways in which they can cultivate a culture and practice of sustainability in the organizations they lead.
