A Structure for Utilizing Multicultural Principles to Strengthen the Servant Leadership Approach
Heather Gentry
William & Mary Educational Review, v4 n2 Article 6 p15-18 2016
As a current leader in a diverse public education setting, possessing a comprehensive understanding of multiple leadership styles and approaches is of the utmost importance. When embarking upon the task of investigating the concept of leadership, one can locate numerous leadership theories, approaches, and practices that can be referenced by an abundance of articles or texts. However, a component that is noticeably absent from the majority of these elements relates to the associations that exist for each theory, approach, or practice in relation to the multicultural world in which we live today. Through the integration of leadership concepts from multicultural communities into an existing leadership approach, leaders are able to create a stronger, more sustainable approach to leadership that will be applicable in the multicultural world.
