Servant Leadership and Mc Gregor's Theory X and Y
Select one out of the first ten Presidents of the USA (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, or John Tyler) who you consider to be an outstanding example of a servant leader. Conduct independent research on this individual and create a profile of this leader that addresses the following:
- What makes this person a servant leader? Support your answer with examples.
- Show the added value of a servant leader based upon your leader's profile.
- What would an organization full of servant leaders be like? Justify your response.
- Do you think servant leaders are needed in all organizations? What are the significant contingencies that would lean in favor or against servant leadership?
