There is a crisis in leadership today. Harvard Business Review recently stated that self-serving leadership has eroded our confidence in institutions around the world. Recent news reports have revealed scandals at Penn State University and insider stock information benefiting certain members of Congress; trust in our leaders continues to be on a steady decline.
It's no surprise that business leaders are searching for a better way to lead.
"If there ever is a time for Servant Leadership, the time is now," said Mark Larson, longtime San Diego radio talk show host, and emcee of the upcoming Annual Servant Leadership Winter Conference in San Diego.
The term "servant leadership" was first made popular in corporate America by AT&T executive Robert Greenleaf in 1968. Since that time, this method of leadership that maximizes profits, people, and the planet has transformed corporate cultures around the world, most notably at Southwest Airlines, Chick-fil-A, TD Industries, Thrivent Financial, WD-40 Company and Datron World Communications.
The Annual Servant Leadership Winter Conference will be held from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. It will feature internationally noted author on leadership John Maxwell and Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40 in San Diego.
At last year's sold-out Conference, participants had the opportunity to interact with nationally known leadership expert Ken Blanchard and Ken Melrose, retired CEO of Toro Company, along with a host of authors and workshop leaders.
The theme for this year's Winter Conference is entitled, "Servant Leadership: Turning Principle into Practice."
Along with John Maxwell and Garry Ridge, Conference attendees will be able to interact with Art Barter, CEO of Vista-based Datron World Communications, Elizabeth Bryant, Director of Operational Training at Southwest Airlines in Dallas, Texas, Leonard Sweet, distinguished professor and author at Drew University in New Jersey, and Dr. Tony Baron, author of The Art of Servant Leadership and president of the Servant Leadership Institute (SLI).
"The Conference has been designed to provide an energizing and insightful exploration of servant leadership in action and how these time-tested principles significantly improve performance, leadership effectiveness, and yield sustainable results in today's changing world," said Baron.
In developing that theme, several workshops have been added that focus on culture change and maximizing profit along with your people. Bryant, one of the key architects of Southwest Airlines servant-led culture will be conducting a workshop entitled, "Leading with LUV: How to Develop a Culture of Servant Leadership." Barter and Baron, will be conducting a workshop on how Datron changed from a power model to a servant-led culture entitled, "Turning Servant Leadership Principles into Practice." Doug Hoxeng oversees the Ken Blanchard Executive MBA program and will be conducting a workshop, "Leadership and the Bottom-Line," based upon his book The Business Case for Servant Leadership.
In addition to the above workshops, the non-profit sector will be served with two workshops, "Creating a Servant Leadership Community in your City" and "Teaching Servant Leadership to Today's Teens."
"It is our goal to create an intimate environment where folks can interact with one another and the guest speakers, so we have limited the attendance to 250 people," said Danielle Aguas, SLI Winter Conference Event Coordinator. "We have also designed the events so that the busy corporate or community leader can enjoy full participation in this entire Conference in less than 48 hours."
Servant Leadership Institute (SLI) provides training, consulting, coaching, and keynote speaking on servant leadership development. Servant Leadership Institute was founded by North County resident Art Barter as a division of Datron World Communications, Inc., where he serves as owner and CEO. Tony Baron has been president since SLI's inception. Baron, board certified in forensic medicine and a specialist in workplace violence prevention, authored the first book in the country on workplace violence. Through his experiences working with the U.S. Postal Service, Columbine High School, the Oklahoma City bombing, and New York's Ground Zero, Baron realized that the prime factor to reduce inappropriate behavior was the working environment. Since that time, Baron has been committed to servant leadership and has led many executives and their corporations in doing business differently.
The Servant Leadership Winter Conference is designed for anyone who desires to become a better leader.
