Servant leadership is a powerhouse leadership style that will transform your culture and impact your bottom line. But being a servant leader doesn’t mean you’re nice (or weak). It means that you make a conscious choice to serve first — to focus on the needs of your people, helping them to grow and success. And there’s a process for effective servant leadership.
The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Dan Hart, RN, Director of Diagnostic Imaging and Physical Therapy with the Mankato Clinic, to our February 19 Mankato Area PEN breakfast discussion: “Servant Leadership.”
Mankato Clinic has adopted the servant leadership concepts formally since October 2017. Dan will initially review the concept of Servant Leadership and how this style of leadership was implemented within their organization. Mankato Clinic looked at this change to maintain high employee engagement levels and to improve patient satisfaction. Mankato Clinic employees was acknowledged for being in the top 2% nationally of all Press Ganey organizations for employee engagement.
The Servant Leadership concept is one you can implement into your individual leadership style and organization. You will be invited to complete a self-assessment prior to the breakfast discussion. During our session, you will be able to network with and explore your leadership style, based on the concepts of Ken Blanchard’s book titled the “The Secret.”
The discussion will be hosted by South Central College in North Mankato. Continental breakfast will be served from 7:30 to 8:00 with the discussion from 8:00 to 9:00 am. For a limited time, Mankato Area PEN breakfasts are offered at NO COST for members or non-members!! So come try out the forum – learn practices that can improve your organization’s performance and network with local leaders and professionals who are passionate about excellence!
