This week we dove into the concept of servant leadership. Here is the quote I just loved from the evening:
The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant- first to make sure that other people's 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, wise, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And what effect on the least privileged in society; will they benefit, or at least not be further deprived?- Robert Greenleaf
Secondly, we presented as groups our SWOT Analysis over an industry in Economics. I was so proud of our group! We focused on locally owned banks, 11 to be exact. The trick to this project was that Dr. Estrada wanted the data to be strongly based in numbers, where as the Marketing SWOT was heavy content. Our group excelled! We based our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats off of ratios which show the viability of the bank. I never would have dreamed before of writing a 10 page paper and providing a presentation from a spreadsheet full of numerical data. It is great to see my education is already taking me to new levels.
