Serving Our Children During And After Covid-19: Application Of Shepherd Leadership At Home And School, Kong Wah Cora Chan
Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice
Shepherding is one of humanity’s oldest known occupations, dating back thousands of years (Leman & Pentak, 2004).

It is a desire, which is not natural to men or women. It …
