The Greenleaf Scholars Program is currently accepting applications for 2015. Applications are due March 16, 2015.
The GSP provides a $2500 research award for early career scholars to support empirical work on servant leadership. The program is sponsored by the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, and is administered through the National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good at the University of Michigan.
The goals of the program are 1) to inspire a new generation of critical scholarship based on the concepts of servant leadership that were articulated by Robert K. Greenleaf; 2) to support rigorous empirical studies that offer evidence of the impact of servant leadership on the health and effectiveness of organizations and communities; and 3) to build a nurturing community of academic researchers, practitioners, and students who study and teach servant leadership.  
Award recipients are chosen by an international review committee of faculty members from various public and private universities.
International applications are welcome; we ask only that all application and research materials are completed in English.
Thank you for forwarding this email to anyone who may be interested in applying to become a Greenleaf Scholar. Additional information can be found at: https://greenleaf.org/research-scholars/
Program questions can be addressed to: greenleafscholars@umich.edu

DPLS Alumnus Dr. Matt Kincaid is writing a book!

Posted by: ferch | September 24, 2014 | No Comment |
I’ve read the introduction to the book and it is stellar!  Here’s a message from alumnus Matt Kincaid, professor and leadership consultant, that may be of interest for those of you who want to write books (all of you, I hope).  🙂   Also to all of you alumni and current students, let us know when articles are being published or books being published.  We love to sing your praises!  –Respectfully,  Shann
From Matt:
I’d like to share with fellow Gonzaga Alum a new book that my consulting partner, Doug Crandall, and I are writing. It’s due out in early December and we genuinely believe anybody studying and/or practicing leadership will dig it.  🙂
 
The book is called, Say Anything: Lead So Your People Speak Fearlessly.
 
This link, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/857840874/say-anything-the-book, will take you to our Kickstarter page where you’ll be able to view a short clip that introduces the book. You can also read the introduction to the book on our website, Blue Rudder Leadership Concepts (you’ll see a PDF icon).  
 
We’d love any support and certainly welcome feedback from doctoral program students, both past and present. 
 
Thanks so much!
