The Best Test of Servant Leadership…

Do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And what is the effect on the least privileged in society; will they benefit, or at least not be further deprived?”

What Robert Greenleaf Forgot to Tell You

Page 17: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

What Robert Greenleaf Forgot to Tell You:

Leadership demands skills & the ability to express those skills so that those who are led grow & prosper

The leader’s ability to serve others is totally dependent on their ability to function fully & to be healthy

Page 18: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

What Robert Greenleaf Forgot to Tell You

The four facets of health are the responsibility of the individual, but cannot be managed totally by the individual

If you do not prioritize self-care (servanthood for your body, mind & spirit) it is unfair to ask others to prioritize your well-being

Page 19: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

What Robert Greenleaf Forgot to Tell You

The successful servant-leader leads the way to a better self!

The successful servant-leader models self-care for those s/he leads

What Robert Greenleaf Forgot to Tell You

Servant of Self (Temple of God)  

Servant of Others (Congregation, Family, Friends

& Community at Large)

Exercise: Step 1Place your pen or pencil in your non-

dominant handWhen I say “Go”, write as many words

to The Lord’s Prayer as you canWhen I say “Stop”, finish the word you

are writing and put down your pen or pencil.

Count the number of complete words you wrote & report out

Page 22: Johnston Servant Leadership

Exercise: Step 2Place your pen or pencil in your

dominant handWhen I say “Go”, write as many words

to The Lord’s Prayer as you canWhen I say “Stop”, finish the word you

are writing and put down your pen or pencil.

Count the number of complete words you wrote & report out

Page 23: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

Lesson: What you are able to give is dependent on what you have to give

You can get work done when you are not healthy, but both

the quality and quantity of the work suffer.

Page 24: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

Mental/Emotional Health

A servant-leader who fails to take care of their own mental/emotional needs is stressed, unable to focus and prioritize

Mental/emotional health are necessary to be creative & supportive of those you lead.

Page 25: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

Spiritual Health

Personal spiritual health is critical in keeping the individual grounded in the faith that christened the servant-leader into a leadership role.

It is the sustenance for the journey & the refreshment for the soul that keeps their “calling” alive.

Page 26: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

Social Health

We need deep roots & ongoing encouragement to reach our full potential.

Such depth arises from community supporting us in our growth & development, and from our supporting others in kind.

Page 27: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

Physical Health

Lack of physical health due to poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, tobacco use or exposure, inadequate sleep, &/or inadequate water consumption leave us performing at less than our potential.

It is like writing with our non-dominant hand!

Page 28: Johnston Servant Leadership

Johnston 2005

Lesson: What you are able to give is dependent on what you have to give. Total health incorporates all four facets

of health: mental/emotional, spiritual, social and physical health.

If any one facet is lacking, the other three facets will suffer as a result

Balance is key!
