Agee, Bob R.  2001.  Servant leadership as an effective approach to leadership in the church.  Southwestern Journal of Theology, vol XLIII, No. 3. Summer 2001, p 7-19.  ISSN 00384828.

 

DEFINITION* of leadership

Leadership is the art and science of influencing attitudes, atmosphere, and action that will bring about change (hopefully for the good) within another person, a group of people, or an organization (Agee 2001, 8)

 

DEFINITION* of servant leadership

A “servant leader” is one who seeks to embody the spirit, attitude, and disposition of the greatest leader of all, Jesus Christ.  The servant leader is marked by the impact of the Holy Spirit in his or her life with a spirit characterized by “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23) (Agee 2001, 9)

 

If current literature on leadership is correct and effective leadership flows from within and leaders lead out of who they are and not by technique, then this is the beginning place for defining the effective servant leader (Agee 2001, 9)
