Choose the following and respond to the questions:
Case 9.1 (p. 155) – Servant Leadership in the healthcare field:
Two students in an executive seminar, Rachel Goh and Santiago Perez, explore the basis of servant leadership in class. Rachel – I don’t buy it. The idea that servant leaders are more committed to their followers and organization sounds too religious for me. The fact is, people are, at the core, selfish. We act with self-interest, first and always.
Santiago – Servant leaders are manipulative, but in a good way. Take me, for example. My staff can’t get along well without me because I provide them with everything they need— from advice to tangible resources. This is a win-win situation. I support their work, and in exchange I get the results I want.
Case 9.1 Questions Do you agree with this summation that servant leadership is (a) not possible given the selfish nature of people and (b) secretly or outwardly manipulative but harmless? Explain your answer. Using Greenleaf’s definition of this theory (see www. greenleaf.org), discuss how servant leadership can guide executives in today’s healthcare environment.
