Coding and data triangulation techniques through interview with leaders, interviews with teachers, and questionnaires.

The theory of servant leadership with its key concepts of servanthood and leadership has emerged during the last few decades. A person who has a heart for people and serves them whilst leading them practices servant leadership. Servant leaders are not motivated by attaining higher positions but by serving people. Leaders call people to follow a set vision. In the church, that vision ought to be a God vision, premised on the Word of God. Leaders in the church should lead people according to the guidance of the Bible and inspiration from God. He is the one who calls people, gives them an assignment and will require an account from them. The church has been in the spotlight in recent times because of the conduct of their leaders, who are the pastors assigned with the task of leading believers. Understanding the principles of servant leadership can contribute to spiritual formation of theological students in contextualisation of 21st century theological training. The article begins with...

Servant Leadership: Meeting the Challenges of Pastoral and Social Ministry in the Church (An exploratory study) Servant leaders focus on the needs of followers. Robert K. Greenleaf has maintained that a servant leader is first a servant and implicitly that everybody can lead. By popularizing this age-long principle of leadership, Greenleaf carved a niche for himself and reawakened the conscience of humanity about this sustainable style of leadership. In an egocentric society, aided by a sweeping technological advancement, people are tendentially creating a world in which they are the centre of all attractions; in which they crave the service of all and sundry but think less of what they can give to the other. This work aims at answering the following questions: Is today's Church still adhering to Jesus' example of leading by example as in the washing of the feet of his disciples? And, are those served better off for the service, that is; are they better citizens, are they healthier, are they more autonomous and are they freer? Besides an organized literature review, semi-structured interviews were conducted and a pool of responses obtained, that aided the study in no small measure. Though the interviews overly tended towards the relationship between the Church and the practice and application of servant leadership, the reach of the work is more embracing, as the Church was only used as a launching pad to demonstrate, without pretence to superiority over other styles of leadership, that the principles of servant leadership are efficient in charting the course and in the day-today running of all human institutions and organizations. From the results obtained from the studies, interviews and the analyses thereof, it was found that though relatively an up-and-coming style of leadership, some interviewees marvelled at the concept of servant leadership. Nevertheless, they agreed as to its efficacy for a successful leadership. It was observed that servant leadership presents a better alternative to all leaders who have understood that gone are the days of the CEO mode of leadership.
