Creative Lesson Introduction: The Importance of Service Leadership

Opening Scenario: The Service Leadership Challenge

Imagine a world where every leader puts their community first. In this world, leaders listen deeply and prioritize the needs of others over their own ambitions. Picture yourself in a crisis: a natural disaster has struck your town, and the community needs someone to step up. A leader appears, not in the conventional sense of power and authority, but as a servant—organizing volunteers, distributing resources, and providing emotional support.

Engaging Question

As you reflect on this scenario, think about the following question:

What qualities would you look for in a leader who is committed to service, and how might those qualities positively impact a community during difficult times?

Activity: Small Group Discussion

  1. Form small groups of 4-5 students.
  2. Discuss your thoughts on the question posed.
  3. Identify specific qualities that make a service-oriented leader effective in serving their community.
  4. Prepare to share your insights as a group with the larger class.

Purpose of the Lesson

Today, we will explore the concept of service leadership—a leadership style that emphasizes the well-being of others—and learn why it is crucial in fostering a compassionate and thriving community. As we dive into the characteristics and benefits of service leadership, keep in mind the discussion points from your groups, as they will contribute to our overall understanding of this essential topic.
