Latest Issue of Turner College's Servant Leadership Journal Released

The latest issue of the Turner College's academic journal, Servant Leadership Theory & Practice, which is edited by Turner College management professor Kevin Hurt, was recently released. Articles in this issue of the journal include one by David Macauley and Randall Trent Stevenson, both of the University of Texas Tech at Tyler, Helen Mitchell of Biola University, and David Fowler of Louisiana State University at Shreveport, that, as described by Hurt, "examine[s] how servant leadership, particularly the aspects of humility, empathy, and service, can effectively guide organizations through the challenging process of organizational change[, and] argue[s] that servant leadership, especially when aligned with Christian principles, offers a powerful framework for addressing employee resistance, fostering trust, and promoting lasting transformation." The second article, by Tyler Norris and Dalia Diab of Xavier University, is described by Hurt as one that "explore[s] how servant leaders can develop stronger team cohesion by promoting fairness and a culture of service within organizations [and] offers practical insights for managers aiming to build cohesive, high-performing teams." The third article, by Jeffrey Coats of Appalachian State University, "contends that James E. 'Jimmy' Carter was the personification of a servant leader, showcasing how his Christian faith served as his moral compass throughout his political and personal life [and] highlights Carter’s dedication to conceptualization, the growth of others, and building community, detailing his efforts in the Camp David Accords, fighting racial injustice, advocating for the Equal Rights Amendment, and his extensive humanitarian work with the Carter Center and Habitat for Humanity." The fourth and final article, Jason Weber of Texas Tech University, "investigates the power of servant leadership training to enhance team effectiveness within an academic health sciences center." As Hurt explains, "The findings show that teams engaging in servant leadership training saw significantly higher improvements in effectiveness across nearly all domains, including problem-solving, commitment, and skills development." This issue, Volume 12, Number 1, is available online. Turner Business commends Professor Hurt for his work on this publication.
