OUR WORK
LEADERS DEDICATED TO SERVING THE WORLD
ACCELERATE YOUR GROWTH
A flourishing leader will develop practices that build on the strengths of their team and the values of their organisation. Build on strength for a flourishing team.
b
EMPOWER YOUR PEOPLE
Using a powerful and proven model based on John Stahl-Wert’s best-selling book, The Serving Leader, we provide practical, hands-on training solutions and resources to equip leaders to solve real-world challenges.
LEAVE A LEGACY
Our leadership role is not fulfilled simply because good work gets done. A true leader ensures long-term sustainability, so the next generation can stand on their shoulders, not just sit at their feet. Imagine and prepare for the most fulfilling and fruitful days of your life.
At the starting line for our commitment to “Serving Leadership” must be this thought: We are responsible as human beings – as stewards of our time, treasure, and talent – to produce good results for the world. We are not in leadership to be selfish. As serving leaders, we are focused on serving our customers, serving and building up our people, and serving the purposes and values for which our organisation exists.
OUR MODEL
EXPERIENCE THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE FIVE ACTIONS OF SERVING LEADERSHIPTM
Extraordinary leaders across the world have something in common. They motivate and align their teams to achieve great results by practicing specific behaviors and disciplines. At the Center for Serving Leadership, we call these behaviors The Five Actions of Serving LeadershipTM. These actions are simple, easy to learn, and answer the leadership question, “What do I do next?”

TESTIMONIES
“We thank you so much for this school. It has been a blessing to us. The importance of the vision, I understood it and taught it to my team. They have understood as well. Now they are working for their vision and value their vision. They are serving their vision and trying to teach other people, this has encouraged us and we are so thankful for that. Now each one works according to his abilities.”
“After studying this training, I know how to balance my team. After balancing them, I train them. Those who have accepted to be taught, this is a strong team because they accept learning. Now in my work, I give the job according to the abilities. And I put them in the position according to their abilities. Before the training I was just picking people and putting them somewhere, but they were spoiling things. Now everyone is at a good position, the work is moving on well.”
“I did find the training quite educative, especially in approach. I have so far shared it with a good number of leaders whether church, business or political, and has been received with great acceptance and appreciation. A good number of them are already using it in their leadership training programs. The fact that; it does not have scripture references, yet one can fit in Bible verses and teach Christian leaders makes it unique. It offers general leadership principles applicable anywhere. It is real ‘fertile soil’ enough to reproduce in any given setup.”
