Abstract
What follows is a personal case study in servantleadership. For the sake of confidentiality and clarity, I will employ pseudonyms both for my subject (the library dean at a small but growing Catholic institution of liberal arts) and for the school itself. I first met the subject of this study, whom I will refer to as Evelyn Bentley, late in November of the year 2000, not long after she had assumed the role of Interim Dean of Library Services at the institution I will call St. Aloysius University. In April of the same year, I had given up my job managing a mid-sized branch of a public library system and embarked with my wife on a four-month road trip, freespiritedly crisscrossing the country and culminating in our arrival in a new city where my wife had enrolled in a graduate program.
