Find an opportunity to demonstrate servant leadership in an organization or community through volunteering or serving others. Your goal is to serve the selected organization or entity for at least a total of four hours. Submit a summary (1-2 paragraphs) of your intended servant leadership activity for approval by the instructor. Include the name of the organization and contact information for the organizational leader. You will use this experience as the basis for the CLC presentation in Topic 4. You will need to take pictures during your service project experience for the presentation. You will also need to submit a “Service Project Consent Letter” signed by a representative of the organization.
Consider the following quote from Robert K. Greenleaf as you complete the service project: “The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served. The best test, and difficult to administer, is: Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit or at least not be further deprived.”
Service Project: Consent Letter
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to introduce ___________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________ to you as students of MGT 410: Servant Leadership. In partial fulfillment of their course requirement, these students are committed to four or more hours of community service at one or more locations and will make an oral presentation afterward to inform their peers and instructor of their experience. As a result, the students may opt to take pictures or other forms of audio-visual recordings to supplement their presentation. If you would prefer for your image not to be captured, please let the students know and they will take only context-related pictures. We hope you will grant us the honor to serve you and ask that you sign below as an indication of your agreement ___________________________________________________.
If you agree to have your image captured, please sign here _________________________.
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please relay this to the students directly who can get in contact with the lead Professor of Management, Dean of Students, and/or Office of Spiritual Life.
