Creating Caring Leadership
with Larry C. Spears and Julie Beggs
Monday, December 3, 6pm

Spears is CEO of The Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership, an international nonprofit dedicated to promoting caring, effective leadership based upon service to others. He is the editor of a newly published collection of essays, Focus on Leadership, in which many of today's most creative thinkers promote servant-leadership as an emerging leadership paradigm.

Beggs, Director of Outreach Services for The Greenleaf Center, is noted for her work with servant-leadership in higher education.
