The W.K. Kellogg Foundation recently reported, “The American public perceives a crisis of leadership in our nation. Major public and private institutions increasingly appear incapable of dealing constructively with an ever-expanding list of social and economic problems, and individuals are becoming more cynical about government. We need a new generation of leaders who can bring about positive change in local, national, and international affairs.”
The NorthFork Center for Servant Leadership (NorthFork) is one of many needed answers to this lingering problem. From our vantage point, the serving nature of leadership is the panoptical key to peace, prosperity, and positive international relations. Sadly, it is a key largely neglected in our world.
Until now.
NorthFork aims to blaze a trail in leadership awareness for the 21st century. We are indeed committed to helping our neighbors (communities and organizations, large and small) advance noble causes for peace and freedom in every corner of the globe. With an other-centered focus, NorthFork is becoming a catalyst for encouragement, a champion for those servant hearts who diligently strive with an indefatigable spirit to address ever-pressing needs related to the most salient issues of our day: water, hunger, poverty, deforestation, loss of language and culture, climate change, conservation, human rights, and education, among others.
NorthFork is creating a powerhouse of online resources to help global, national, and local communities — from Washington, D.C., to Amsterdam, from Bucharest to Hong Kong — better understand leadership and love have much in common when it comes to leadership’s true serving nature. NorthFork is leveraging social media to freely share our technologies (as they are developed) in order to bring local communities together in an immersive experience that embraces hope. Our commitment is to nurture servant hearts in young and emerging leaders — YOUR young and emerging leaders — and show them how to quietly lead with grace through the power of servant leadership — a leadership founded upon love.
NorthFork’s online resource platforms provide the framework to advance our mission:
- 1. Demonstrate the serving nature of leadership in an engaging, educational environment that appropriately leverages connections and communication.
- 2. Nurture compassion and aspirations to serve and lead.
- 3. Reveal the inherent beauty found in a world of ‘we’ vis-a-vis a world of ‘me.’
- 4. Connect aspiring servant leaders with a community of local, national, and international mentors and leaders.
- 5. Connect aspiring servant leaders with opportunities to serve in local, national, and international organizations and corporations where they, too, can cultivate servant hearts.
- 2. Nurture compassion and aspirations to serve and lead.
The world yearns for leadership — leadership that serves the highest hopes and greatest dreams of humanity. This is an exciting time for us at NorthFork as we embark on a project to restore grace, justice, and beauty to leadership that advances humanity and civilization. Do join us in our endeavor to cultivate servant hearts and create a world of “we” … for us, for our children, and for our children’s children.
Don’t forget …
