Servant-Leadership has become an increasingly powerful voice in management, organization and governance circles. From the beginning, the central role of trustees (board members) has been a key servant-leadership concern – in part because Robert Greenleaf cared so much about our large societal institutions (including schools).  John Cassel, an experienced board facilitator and trainer, has been thinking carefully about how the ideas and practices of servant leadership apply to boards and executive leadership.  Together, we will use Servant-Leadership and the challenges of executive leadership as a frame for thinking about type and leadership practice.  Please join us.
