Agile and Servant Leadership

A servant leader, someone who serves first, leads second. Servant leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organisations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world.

Agility is a leaders ability to adapt to changes. Agile leadership is the art of being flexible to changing condition. It means being responsive to chase and willing to learn and adapt to new ways, leading to effectively survive in the world.

I first wondered, how can this really be considered a "modern" idea when it is really an idea as old as time its self. 

The first examples of servant leaders that I thought of were the classics, Jesus, Ghandi, Mother Teresa - there are many who were served first and lead second! 

To bring agile and servant leadership into the classroom, what would it look like?

In this week's session we played Boris Glogers, Ball Point Game. It required agile team (self organising) and works on the SRCUM principal of sprints. Here are the rules, they are very simple but must be followed. Is an awesome game to keep in mind, especially for relieving as it would work an any levels and really makes kids (and adults) think and communicate.
