An Alternative Approach In Hospitality: Exploring The Leadership Philosophy Of A Successful Restauranteur Family, Scott Linklater, Kem Gambrell

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Hospitality in the United States has come a long way since the first recorded “inn” was established in 1607 by Spaniards in what is now modern-day Santa Fe, New Mexico (http://traveltips.usatoday.com/history-hotel-restaurantmanagement-54946.html). Since then, hotels and restaurants have popped up throughout the United States along trade routes and waterways, serving bourgeoning metropolitan centers such as New York City and locations along the Mississippi River.

Not What You Expected: Implementing Design Thinking As A Leadership Practice, Michelle Boisvenue-Fox, Kristin Meyer

Books and Contributions to Books

Changing user needs have created new opportunities for libraries, requiring evolving leadership practices that support innovation and rapid change. Design thinking can provide leaders with a concrete process to move toward action. The authors – one an executive administrator at a large, multi-branch public library, the other an academic librarian who leads a small team – share how design thinking has positively influenced their leadership practices. The benefits of implementing this flexible process have included improved user experience, more creative solutions, wise investments, staff empowerment, increased transparency and trust, and employee learning and development.

The Dark Side Of Servant-Leadership, Thomas W. Camm

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

In Servant Leadership, Greenleaf (1977) asked: Who is the enemy responsible for the mediocre performance of so many institutions? “The real enemy is fuzzy thinking on the part of good, intelligent, vital people, and their failure to lead. . .” (p. 45). Part of this fuzzy thinking is the failure to recognize what Jung called the shadow aspect of who we are. For this paper, I will look at three ways this can appear: the dark side (naïve/unaware), the darker side (paternalistic), and the darkest side (authoritarian).

How We See: Project Managers As Servant-Leaders, Jiying Song

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Servant-leadership does not and should not stand by itself as a leadership theory or philosophy. It is a new way of living, seeing, and understanding. It embraces various fields, as represented by many articles in our journal—The International Journal of Servant-Leadership. In this introduction, I am going to focus on one particular field—project management.

Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, Heartland Center For Leadership Development

Heartland Center for Leadership Development Materials

The people of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming view entrepreneurship as the key to future survival. Entrepreneurship, they say, will encourage more people to shop locally, while attracting more outside dollars into the community. Locally owned businesses are important for a community that faces such challenges as a 54% unemployment rate, 28% living on per-capita payments to tribal members, and 62% living below the poverty level. While there are many opportunities for economic development, the twist is finding the right strategy and maintaining traditional cultural and tribal values that are important to the two tribes that share this reservation.

The Interior Dictates The Exterior: In Individuals And Organizations, Kevin Parker

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The inconvenient truth about servant-leadership is that it begins with us and then compels one to build meaningful relationships with organizational members. Leading well doesn’t just determine what a leader does, but how they do so (Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee, 2013). When practicing servant-leadership, one is required to access the interior of a person and meet and serve them there. No loitering around the exterior of their lives, their emotions, their fears, or their challenges; rather, it is an inside job, which takes effort, intentionality and consistency.

The Quest For Wholeness, Shann Ray Ferch

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The articles in this volume of the IJSL, like the articles we’ve been honored to publish throughout the journal’s history, are bold, transgressive, and aimed at decentralizing dominant-culture narratives. As people, Shann Ray Ferch, IJSL editor-in-chief, believes that we are specific and universal, beautiful, tragic, met with fracture, met with fusion, triumphant, graceful, traumatized, deeply harmed, lovely, and graceful. The collective presence of the articles published in this volume are guided by similar beliefs, addressing the call given by Seattle writer and National Book Award winner Charles Johnson (Middle Passage) who asks, “How do we portray the racial, cultural, gender, …
