S02E11 | Dr. Jeff Drost
August 23, 2022
From Chinese restaurant waiter to Navy Reserve mess management specialist to professor of business at Maranatha, our much-revered Dr. Jeff Drost will engage you in this episode with what host Dr. Matt Davis calls his “bailiwick”—servant leadership. Though “servant leadership” has become a buzz phrase, the “underlying why” determines distinctions in definition and implementation between secular and faith-based organizations. Drost, whose PhD program embodied this topic, explains the reason for incorporating it into Maranatha’s Student Life Workshops. He asserts that empirical research indicates that there are benefits for organizations engaged in servant leadership, contrasting it with transformational and transactional leadership. He identifies the fundamental essential for managers and the importance of organizational learning and communication.
