Hello Doctoral Learning Community!
Please join us for this upcoming event featuring renowned author and leadership scholar Larry Spears.
The School of Professional Studies and the Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University are pleased to announce the unveiling of artwork and a commemorative plaque to honor Larry Spears as the Gonzaga University Servant Leadership Scholar. The event will take place in the lobby of the Tilford Center at Gonzaga University on Thursday March 21st from 5-6 p.m. Larry Spears is the foremost authority on servant-leadership in the world today and his presence as a teacher and scholar in the leadership programs at Gonzaga University provides undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students with a profound bridge into deeper understandings of servant-leadership: leadership designed to generate in others and in the world greater wisdom, autonomy, service, health, and freedom. In 2010 Spears was named Gonzaga University Servant Leadership Scholar, honoring his service in servant-leadership internationally and his service to the Gonzaga University community and its leadership programs. For more information on Larry and his work at Gonzaga see LarrySpearsGU .
For those of you who are interested in his 1 credit course offered from 8am-12 noon on the same day (Thursday, March 21st), it is not too late to sign up. This is a unique opportunity to be face to face with Larry and learn insights associated with the 10 characteristics of servant leadership he has played such a vital role in bringing to light in the last three decades: touchstones of Robert K. Greenleaf’s work that include listening, empathy, awareness, conceptualization, persuasion, foresight, healing, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and building community.
I look forward to seeing you!
