Implementing Servant Leadership to Move the World

Abstract

Each person has the capacity and responsibility to lead to move the world to a better place. This concluding chapter emphasizes the call of leadership and the challenge to answer that call to make a lasting difference in the world. A review of one of the key outcomes of effective leadership, the engaged worker, is presented. What is the state of the world’s workers today and what does their level of engagement say about the effectiveness of current leaders? By moving out of an autocratic mindset and beyond a paternalistic mindset, a way of leading that engages our workers and maximizes our organization’s health emerges to move organizations closer to fulfilling their performance potential. The metaphor of Archimedes lever is revisited to describe how it helps create understanding of the leveraged power of servant leadership as the most powerful way to move the world.
