BURLESON C.A.R.E.S.

SERVANT LEADERSHIP Public service calls you to perform your duty with such passion and intensity that your commitment to service to others becomes spiritual in nature.

C H A R A C T E R I S T I C S O F A S E R VA N T L E A D E R Listening

Conceptualization

Seek to identify the will of a group and help clarify that will.

Nurture your ability to “dream great dreams”. Look at problems beyond a day-to-day reality.

Empathy

Stewardship

Strive to understand and empathize with others.

Understand lessons from the past, realities of the present and likely consequence of a decision for the future.

Healing Recognize that you have an opportunity to “help make whole” those whom you come in contact with.

Foresight

Awareness

Commitment to the growth of people

Being generally aware and self-aware aids in understanding issues involving ethics and values.

Assume first and foremost a commitment to serving the needs of others.

Do everything possible to nurture the growth of your employees and co-workers.

Persuasion

Building community

Rely on persuasion rather than positional authority in making decisions within an organization. Convince others rather than coerce compliance.

Seek to identify means for building community among those who work within the given institution.
