Wheeler, R. L. (2013). Developing Servant Leaders – by Chance and On Purpose. Raymond L. Wheeler, DMin. https://raywheeler.wordpress.com/2013/11/21/developing-servant-leaders-by-chance-and-on-purpose/
Description:
Rather than being a specific model of Leadership, this contribution represents a possible framework for how Leadership is developed. Built against the background of Servant Leadership, Raymond Wheeler has tried to represent different development paths.
It offers “a snapshot that allows a leader to see development opportunities that may be missed and to also realize that development occurs serendipitously as well as intentionally in daily life”.
“The figure visualizes the various dynamics that help shape how a leader thinks and how they act. The arrows indicate feedback loops that alert the leader to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of their actions. Feedback alerts a leader to the need for altering behaviours or actions, increasing resources or reflection that challenges the leader’s prevailing mental model about how to define reality and causation. If the leader’s mental model is left unchallenged then incomplete correlations between causation and outcome lead to frustration and increased activity that has little bearing on effecting altering outcomes.”
