1. What Is Servant-Leadership?

Welcome to the very first episode of the Love In Basketball podcast! In this solo episode, I seek to provide a foundation for what servant-leadership is, what it entails, and why it's important.

I cover some of the myths of servant-leadership, Robert Greenleaf's foundational definition for the servant-leader and his Best Test, in addition to the human development models and larger shifts in consciousness and awareness of servant-leadership. I also cover a variety of examples and research for why it's important to concern ourselves with servant-leadership. Service to others first truly makes great work, creating the results we truly desire, and fulfilling our highest potentials possible. And of course, I touch on the importance of love for the servant-leader.
