The Servant Leader Project

Phase I: Conversations with "deeply authentic Servant Leaders" (still underway)

We give certain people permission to have a deep and profound influence in our lives. Why? What's different about them? 4 choices emerge from our research and are outlined below. We've already conducted over 200 interviews with these everyday heroes. From Patch Adams to Jim O'Keefe (worked directly with both Mother Teresa and Jack Welch) to Mimi Silbert (founder of Delancey Street, saving 25,000 people from addiction with no employees & no grants).

Phase II: Servant Leader Bootcamp!

How do you take Servant Leadership to the next level? And develop other deeply authentic Servant Leaders? Based on overwhelming feedback, especially from our interviewees, we are designing a transformational experience. Good is the enemy of great. If you'd like updates on this project, let us know here.

Have you ever had a wake-up call? What I like to call a "frying pan" moment? When you realize something is wrong, broken, not working as well as it could or should?

Two tractor trailers played hockey with my car on the highway. Warm day, cold night, black ice.

When I regained consciousness, I saw a line of cars heading towards me at highway speeds. Get out of the car and off the road! I almost jumped the guardrail and off the bridge...
