The Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership is an international nonprofit organization that promotes the awareness, understanding and practice of servant leadership. It pursues that mission through a variety of training programs, conferences, publications and partnerships. Robert K. Greenleaf founded the nonprofit Greenleaf Center (first called “The Center for Applied Ethics”) in 1964. Not long after, Greenleaf published The Servant as Leader, a landmark essay that coined the phrase "servant-leader" and launched the modern servant leadership movement. Servant leadership is a timeless concept. We know that servant leadership is a guiding principle that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and sustainable world. Indeed, countless business, nonprofit, governmental, faith-based and other organizations have adopted servant leadership as a key strategy – one that puts people first and improves performance on more than one bottom line. Organizations committed to servant leadership value ethics and equity no less than efficiency and effectiveness. No matter one’s perspective – customer, employee, teacher, partner, investor, member or neighbor, to name but a few – servant leadership organizations consistently receive the highest ratings.
