1.0 Introduction and rationale:
After the globalization and technological advancements, stewardship has been extensively
focused by the modern organizations to create a committed and accountable workforce without
looking into the increased compliance on the governance strategies. This scenario has become
more focused in the non-profit organizations, as the primary aim is to focus on the common good
in the world dedicated to the world’s individual. Past scholars also pointed out the fact that the
core business perspective takes away humanity to meet the higher business goals. On the other
hand, the stewardship program helps to stay focused on the reference group and meet the
development at a slow pace just like nature, unlike the forced intervention to attain business
profits and goals (Bernstein, Buse, & Bilimoria, 2016).
Considering the fact, the present study aims to describe the stewardship model employed by
Kent R. Wilson who, in the year 2016, has pointed out that role of a steward is the work of the
servant for the whole system to make a broader degree of societal improvement through actual
utilization of leadership resources. The study describes the stewardship program proposed by the
Wilson along with its benefits and challenges considering the case study of Netball Australia, a
non-profit organization, whose objective is to “Attain national and international success in
competition, support greater participation and outsider involvement to ensure excellence in all
spheres of the sport” (Wilson, 2016). As Wilson’s stewardship model prioritizes on non-profit
leadership specialism, and the chosen organization also aims for the better wellbeing of the
nation rather than earning the business profitability, the stated model has been chosen to conduct
the study.
