Servant Leadership

This week was Blogtastic as far as our Student Leadership Class went. I really enjoyed the Lecture Monday afternoon by Dr. Cox. I thought all the examples he brought up of Servant Leaders were so cool and it made me really want to read about each of their lives and leadership styles. I also was extremely interested by how he incorporated Servant Leadership into the Business world because I hope to be a leader in business in my future. But for now, I think I can really apply the principles he discussed to my leadership role by serving the gentlemen on my floor. I am definitely more willing to put myself out there more to serve them after our service experiment during Lab on Wednesday in which I saw the results of a little spontaneous friendly service. It is so worth the little time and effort it takes to go out of your way to do things for people. In my opinion, their smile and gratitude are the best returns possible on such a simple and small investment. I plan to let it be more known to the guys on my hall that I am willing to help them out and do whatever I can to lighten their load by personally offering my services and time to them. I am also excited to read my Leadership Book for the semester that is titled The Servant by James C. Hunter and plan to apply the servant leadership lessons within to my leadership role and lifestyle.
