1SERVANT LEADERSHIP ANALYSIS
Servant leadership is a concept that concerns itself with leading by serving and doing
greater good for the community (Hoch et al., 2018). Being in nursing profession, I have had
volunteering experience where I had to apply servant leadership attributes in real life. Servant
leadership is based on the Christian concept of doing good. In my profession I have to take
care of people and give them constant care, serving them with empathy. This essay elucidates
the volunteering experience and its correlation with servant leadership and how that affects
the community that I serve and the greater good.
I volunteered in a Non-profit Christian Organization based in Richardson, Texas
named Feed My Starving Children (FMSC). The organization aims to eliminate hunger
within children and reduce the number of mal-nutritional children by sending food and other
nutrition to countries all over the world. They have a high success rate (Fmsc.org, 2020).
Through my volunteering experience I had to pack food as per requirement, weight and seal
them, box them properly and load them in trucks for delivery. I also arranged for volunteers
from the organization and register them for different programs. I had to arrange for
transportation for our site for packing Manna rice. The FMSC provided a positive work
environment.
Through my volunteering experience I employed many of the servant leadership
principles. The very idea of serving people is based on empathy, healing, stewardship and
building community (Gupta, 2013). For example, feeding people is based on empathy which
is one of the most important aspect of servant leadership. By sending food to different
countries where children were hungry, we were practicing stewardship and community as we
believe that the whole world is a brotherhood. Sometimes, we would get requests for food
later or for some emergency and we would comply as we believe in compassion and humility.
