Thanks, Sally for leading this week.<\/p>\n
Excellent title you gave your post. It seems that as we look at the characteristics of a TSL leader one should personally embody this style of leadership. You did well to say that there is \u201cno alternative\u201d than to use TSL.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis need transcends the system of education in any country and can only be truly filled through the TSL path which prepares people to face challenges, develop consistent flexibility, and continually build strong relationships through mutual trust, respect, and reliability.\u201d (Hinksman, 2018, paras. 2) I would like to high light \u201ceducation in any country\u201d since I believe we are entering a global education era and the need to implement TSL regardless of the country is a must. One has only to be aware that in some cultures, TSL will be initially much more challenging to implement. For example, in Latin America, the current styles of leadership being implement are the opposite of the servant-leadership model (McIntosh & Irving, 2008, p. 4). We still struggle with the idea of a leader being a chief and a dictator. The people that are currently in leadership grew up during the Stroessner dictatorship which ended in 1989. Just yesterday, while teaching my leadership class in high school, I told students they were a generation that was already born after Stroessner\u2019s dictatorship. It is an excellent opportunity for us to do something different and incorporate TSL into their mind frame.<\/p>\n
Another observation that I would like to high light from your blog is, \u201ca servant leader is not someone who is weak<\/u> (my underline<\/em>) and unable to lead others in a common direction.\u201d Amaral (2007) says that in Brazil, while a pastor was implementing the servant leadership model, the members of the congregation believed that their leader\u2019s ability to influence had declined (as cited in McIntosh & Irving, 2008, p.9). I can say that I have been experiencing the same which, sometimes, forces the leader to fall back into other styles of leadership. It will take some time to convince followers of the benefits of TSL.<\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reference:<\/p>\n McIntosh, T. A., Irving, J. A., & Seminary, B. (2008).
