The Turner College of Business has, over the past decade, established itself as a national leader in servant leadership education and scholarship. That process began in 2010, with the inauguration of the College’s master’s program in organizational leadership, which offers a specialized track in servant leadership. It continued with the recent founding of Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice, an academic journal specializing in the field that is edited by Turner College associate professor of management Phil Bryant. Another stepping stone was recently added to this pathway with the publication of research by Kevin Hurt, an assistant professor of management in the Turner College. Hurt’s research on ecosystem and egosystem leadership motivation, appearing in a 2017 issue of the International Journal of Servant-Leadership, explores leadership character from a theological perspective by introducing the virtue of biblical love as a moderator and mediator between a leader’s motivation-orientation and servant leadership, as well as the key to servant leader development. Using Greenleaf’s depiction that servant leadership begins with a heartfelt desire to serve, Hurt’s research presents a path whereby a leader may transcend selfish interests and align with the tenets of servant leadership.
