9 Servant Leader Inventory Score I have made a deep commitment to listen intently to others so that I can identify and clarify the purpose of the group. I normally assume the good intentions of others and I understand and empathize with them by accepting and recognizing their special and unique spirit. I search for wholeness and the potential to heal myself and others so that transformation and integration can take place. I have the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize myself as an individual who is separate from the environment and other individuals (Awareness). When making decisions I rely on persuasion to convince others in order to build consensus within the group, rather than relying upon my positional authority. I bring visions to reality by looking at a problem or the organization from a conceptualizing perspective (from an idea or picture), rather than just looking at the day-to-day operations. When solving complex problems I use my intuitive mind to understand lessons from the past, the realities of the present, and the likely consequence of a decision that affects the future. I hold the institution in trust for the greater good of society. I believe people have an intrinsic value beyond their tangible contributions as workers, thus I m deeply committed to the personal, professional, and spiritual growth of each individual within the organization. I seek to identify a means for building community among those who work within the institution.
