Abstract

Dear Father, We dream While we may Who are we to need? We need While we wait - Neil Diamond From the soundtrack of Jonathan Livingston Seagull In searching for a film to review that expressed the nature and notion of servant-leadership, we viewed several films with threads of promise. However, few really encapsulated what we felt Robert Greenleaf or even Hermann Hesse would look for in a movie. Frustration was beginning to set in, when close relatives received a movie trailer in the mail from Starbucks, where they both are employed. The trailer held promise of a film that portrayed servant-leadership in a family-friendly context. Knowing of Starbuck's corporate commitment to servant-leadership, we were not surprised at this first entrance of their entertainment area into film. We began our conversations about how the notion of servant-leadership could be presented in such a mass market. Could a corporate-held value impact society? Does it even permeate the very company promoting the ideal?
