Nixon, William L., II.
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v34 n4 p34-37 2021
The purpose of this article is to explore principles of servant leadership as a solution to the ethical improprieties mounting in the world of intercollegiate and interscholastic athletics. This article will provide a synthesis of servant leadership literature that highlights the importance of behavioral integrity and its role in building trust and strengthening interpersonal relationships. This specific case of servant leadership will provide a model for fostering an ethical climate in sport and expose current leadership practices in intercollegiate athletics that place organization needs ahead of player development and support the need for ethical reform in intercollegiate athletics.
