Greenleaf\, when he published his 1970 essay “The Servant as Leader”\, proposed that service ought to be the distinguishing characteristic of leadership. Not only would it create a better\, stronger society\, but people themselves “would find greater joy in their lives if they raised the servant aspect of their leadership and built more serving institutions”.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will explore questions such as:\n– Do servant leaders really experience greater joy?\n– Does joy at work contribute to greater success in workplace teams?\n– What is the difference between joy and other emotions such as happiness?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChrista Williams\, Executive Director of Sophia Transformative Leadership Partners\, will facilitate this session through small group discussion\, personal reflection exercises and bite-sized\, actionable take-aways.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis month’s conversation will only be held via Zoom. This session will be recorded. There is no cost to attend.
