서번트 리더십의 기독교적 및 시대적 적합성과 특징들 = The Relevances and the Characteristics of the Servant Leadership

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

??This study examines the relevances and the characteristics of the servant leadership. Korean studies on servant leadership generally deal with how it can be applied to such organizations as a company, a hospital, or a church, and fail to investigate what the servant leadership is. To fill the gap, this article tries to provide what the attributes of the servant leaders are, considering the Biblical and contemporary relevances of the servant leadership. The servant leadership, first coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in his seminal book The Servant Leadership, is absolutely Biblical, going well with the servanthood of Jesus and Paul. It is also relevant to the present day's paradigm of human relationship, which emphasizes cooperation and empowerment over against command and control. The ten characteristics of the servant leader, as they are described by Larry Spears, are: listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and building community. The most important of the ten characteristics is arguably foresight, which entails ability for vision and conceptualization. But the problem with the concept of foresight is that it is something inborn or a charisma, as Larry Spears says. Then, it is not so easy for a servant leader with this charisma to be a leader in reality. We therefore often end up having a Machiavellian leader instead of a servant leader. So we can criticize Greenleaf's concept of the servant leadership for having too a Romantist sense: we humans are so imbued with will-to-power that we want to dominate someone, even when we serve him or her. Yet, as Stephen Covey indicates, it remains a fact that the world economy drives us to adopt the servant leadership, which can empower people to work more effectively than any other leadership.
