Description:

Due to the increasing importance of leadership, the study of servant leadership and its relationship with equity is vital for community educators, teacher-leaders, public administrators, and more. It is important to investigate the complex relationship between organizations and leadership structure in an effort to examine the intersection of how we can best improve our organizations and the populations that they serve.

Cases on Servant Leadership and Equity uncovers the nuances and challenges of servant leadership experienced by diverse servant leaders. It explores how servant leaders of diverse backgrounds navigate challenges that are unique to the organizations in which they lead. Through a critical lens, servant leadership is unpacked through the eyes of leaders that are filtered by race, class, ethnicity, and gender, as well as geopolitical spaces. Covering topics such as emotional intelligence, rural teachers, and employee engagement, this case book is an indispensable reference for managers, executives, sociologists, government officials, politicians, policymakers, human resource managers, faculty and administrators in K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, community leaders, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
