I chose three world-class servant leadership models because they are intuitive, sustainable, and based on positive psychology, integrating the heart, head and hands of leadership. My coaching approach utilizes the combined 150 years of research and science from Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership® II, Wiley Everything DiSC Workplace and GALLUP – StrengthsFinder.
