Cultivating D ialogue: A Central Imperative for the Study and Practice of Servant L eadership
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: This essay provides a point of entry into the exploration of dialogue and dialogic skills within the context of servant leadership.Contemporary leadership education can provide students with a dual education -one that teaches students about the value of servant leadership and one that equips students with the skills and competencies necessary for being a servant leader.An understanding of, and experience, with dialogue is critical to the enactment of servant leadership.This essay presents a conceptual framework for integrating dialogue and servant leadership, which highlights these four intersecting themes: dialogue as a competency for achieving servant leadership, dialogue as a potential solution to societal injustice, dialogue as a primary value for servant leadership, and dialogue as constitutive of servant leadership itself.These intersecting themes help to position dialogue as a central imperative for the study and practice of servant leadership.
