At a recent seminar at Rice University, Servant Leadership: A Model for the 21st Century, Newport Board Group partner Kim Denney presented a summary of takeaways from a panel discussion. The essence of servant leadership, Denney said, is to put someone else in front of yourself. It is a means to influence those around us while remaining authentic and true to who we are. The principles of servant leadership are equally applicable to “grey haired business people and students just starting out in their careers,” Denney noted.
