International Journal of Servant-Leadership
Abstract
Robert K. Greenleaf (2002) effectively embodied lesser known servant-leadership aspects such as prophesy, foresight, and the will to better society, often through personal and collective sacrifice. In his telling essay on Robert Frost’s poem “Directive,” Greenleaf showed not only his strengths in linear thinking, but his uncommon and profound gifts with regard to nonlinear, mystery-based, and more circular aspects of wisdom. This type of wisdom is more readily associated with poets and painters than business practitioners or social scientists.
