Servant Leader Human Resource Management ― A Moral and Spiritual Perspective

Servant leader human resource management (SLHRM) entails developing performance management policies and practices that honor the 'triune towers' of support, accountability, and integrity. Employee support requires workplace policies and practices that cultivate a healthy and engaging quality of work life. Employers of integrity balance employee support with demanding exemplary character and 'tough love' performance accountability standards. Accountability is embedded within a value system that infuses authentic forgiveness and grace policies. Support and accountability, in turn, lean on the pillar of integrity, which is the authentic implementation of the espoused values.

Servant Leader Human Resource Management provides a comprehensive conceptual framework based on a dignity-enhancing stewardship model that integrates and balances mission achievement with motive, means, and ends integrity from both a line manager and human resource department perspective. The foundation is the development of a strategic and tactical collaborative partnership between the human resource department and line managers and employees. This book is a welcome guide for improving the leadership skills of its academic and professional readers.
