Abstract

The purpose of this creative project was to develop a leadership course to be implemented at a Christian university or college. The course was designed as a three credit hour course, that was recommended to be implemented in the spring semester.The course "Developing Ethical Servants" was designed to highlight two of the major leadership principles in the Bible: servant leadership and ethical leadership. The goal of this course was to wrestle with the concept of a Biblical perspective on leadership. In order to achieve this goal, participants would be asked to reflect upon current issues, past leaders and Biblical leaders."Developing Ethical Servants" was designed to bring students into an understanding of applicable servant leadership. Every participant in this course would leave with a better understanding of leadership seen through the eyes of Jesus Christ. The course combined topics such as, civic engagement, diversity, and interpersonal relationships to help give practical application to servant and ethical leadership.
