MALM Learning Outcome 4 – Philosophy of Leadership – Converging Pathways

Finding my “sweet spot” in leadership and articulating strengths, weaknesses and exploring and identifying situations for service and resilience. I recognized that it’s ok to fail! In fact, you cannot succeed without the risk of failure. Mark Twain says it best; “The two most important days in your life – the day you were born and the day you find out why.” This journey has allowed me to discover, rediscover, and/or reinvent myself in a way that enables me to live and serve in my sweet spot and to enhance my development in stewarding my life

Basically, I learned that it is crucial to take audacious steps when we see people in vulnerable situations. Additionally, it is very important for me to lead others by example, have a positive attitude even amid intense circumstances, work as a team, listen to others’ suggestions, articulate my vision to the team members, and encourage others. In addition, I learned that a leadership role has to be Christ centered and it needs to be a grace driven effort in lieu of self-seeking success. My previous experiences helped me to believe that a community of believers working together with servant-heart mindset can, definitely, transform the vulnerable societies.

Motivating Non-Profit Leaders for Excellence Ready, Set, Grow is an extrapolation of Pastor Wilson’s concept of closing the leadership gap which he proposes in his book, Steering Through Chaos. He invites fellow leaders to witness the process of leadership development vicariously; revealing both the challenges and victories his church experienced throughout the journey. Wilson illustrates his process in the form of three conversations, each implementing rigorous goals designed to expand the team’s leadership effectiveness and to impact more people. The first conversation concentrates on their honest assessment of the current culture of the leadership team; recognizing their need for personal growth so they become models of effective leadership. In conversation two, Pastor Wilson calls his team to step up to the next level of leadership, equipping.

In my own Rockhurst community, I have lived out my love of service most directly through Pastoral Ministry. As the leader of Pastoral Ministry, I coordinate a group of students that plans class masses, all school masses, prayer services, and keeps the overall faith atmosphere of the school. Because of my involvement at Rockhurst all four years, I have received the “R” award which recognizes students for their outstanding commitment to Rockhurst and striving for magis (“the more”) within the Rockhurst community. This is the award I am most proud of because it serves as a reminder that I must always be a man for others. I hope to take my love for service to St. Louis University by getting involved in different service opportunities, campus ministry, and international mission trips in order to continue to grow into a man who finds God in all things and is dedicated to serving God by serving others.

“In all we do at Toccoa Falls College, we deliberately integrate scripture, truth, wisdom, and service in order to provide a solid foundation.

I will discuss what the term servant leadership means, how servant leadership was introduced (both in secular and religious circles), and how this concept applies to my calling as a Christian. Servant leadership suggests that a leader’s main goal is to serve others. It has been used in the business world as a means to increase engagement between employees and aid in lack of ethics among those in the business community. Berger states, “Unfortunately, theory construction and evaluation have not been emphasized as the result of the rush to define and measure servant leadership” (2014, p. 149). He explains that in order to advance servant leadership into regular practice we must develop strong theory.
