10 Principle of Servant Leadership
•
• Listening - Traditionally, leaders have been valued for their communication and decision making skills. Servant-leaders must reinforce these important skills by making a deep commitment to listening intently to others. Servant-leaders seek to identify and clarify the will of a group. They seek to listen receptively to what is being said (and not said). Listening also encompasses getting in touch with one's inner voice, and seeking to understand what one's body, spirit, and mind are communicating.

 •
• EmpathyÅı- Servant-leaders strive to understand and empathize with others. People need to be accepted and recognized for their special and unique spirit. One must assume the good intentions of coworkers and not reject them as people, even when forced to reject their behavior or performance.

 •
• HealingÅı- Learning to heal is a powerful force for transformation and integration. One of the great strengths of servant-leadership is the potential for healing one's self and others. In "The Servant as Leader", Greenleaf writes, "There is something subtle communicated to one who is being served and led if, implicit in the compact between the servant-leader and led is the understanding that the search for wholeness is something that they have."

 •
• AwarenessÅı- General awareness, and especially self-awareness, strengthens the servant-leader. Making a commitment to foster awareness can be scary--one never knows that one may discover! As Greenleaf observed, "Awareness is not a giver of solace - it's just the opposite. It disturbed. They are not seekers of solace. They have their own inner security."

 •
• PersuasionÅı- Servant-leaders rely on persuasion, rather than positional authority in making decisions. Servant-leaders seek to convince others, rather than coerce compliance. This particular element offers one of the clearest distinctions between the traditional authoritarian model and that of servant-leadership. The servant-leader is effective at building consensus within groups.

 •
• ConceptualizationÅı- Servant-leaders seek to nurture their abilities to "dream great dreams." The ability to look at a problem (or an organization) from a conceptualizing perspective means that one must think beyond day-to-day realities. Servant-leaders must seek a delicate balance between conceptualization and day-to-day focus.

 •
• StewardshipÅı- Robert Greenleaf's view of all institutions was one in which CEO's, staff, directors, and trustees all play significance roles in holding their institutions in trust for the great good of society.

 •
• Commitment to the Growth of PeopleÅı- Servant-leaders believe that people have an intrinsic value beyond their tangible contributions as workers. As such, servant-leaders are deeply committed to a personal, professional, and spiritual growth of each and every individual within the organization.

 •
• Building CommunityÅı- Servant-leaders are aware that the shift from local communities to large institutions as the primary shaper of human lives has changed our perceptions and has caused a feeling of loss. Servant-leaders seek to identify a means for building community among those who work within a given institution.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The passengers of Flight 1549 were soaked and freezing, but they were also alive. "We had a miracle on 34th Street. I believe now we have had a miracle on the Hudson," Gov. David Paterson said.

US Airways Flight 1549 took off at 3:26 p.m. It was less than a minute later when the pilot reported a "double bird strike" and said he needed to return to LaGuardia, said Doug Church, a spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. He said the controller told the pilot to divert to an airport in nearby Teterboro, N.J.

Just seconds after the first officer of US Airways Flight 1549, leaving La Guardia Airport and bound for Charlotte, N.C., pointed the nose of his jet into the sky, he noticed that there were birds on the right side — “in a perfect line formation.”The plane’s captain, who had been busy watching the cockpit instruments, managing the radios and looking at charts, then looked up.

The windscreen, he told investigators, was filled with birds. The plane, at roughly 3,000 feet, was going at least 250 miles an hour. The captain’s first instinct, he said, was to duck.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The pilot who landed a crippled US Airways jetliner on the Hudson River thought there would have been "catastrophic consequences" if he tried to make it to a nearby airport, a National Transportation Safety Board official said Saturday night.

HARRIMAN — A retention pond wall collapsed early this morning at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Kingston steam plant, releasing a mixture of water and fly ash that flooded nearly a dozen homes and caused a train wreck. No injuries have been reported, but one house was swept into the middle of Swan Pond Circle Road and huge piles of wet fly ash cover the roadway.

Officials say 4 to 6 feet of material washed out of the pond and now covers up to 400 acres of land adjacent to the plant.

発電所廃棄物が流出、近くの川で高濃度のヒ素や重金属を検出

テネシー州キングストン（ＣＮＮ）　米テネシー州を流れる２つの川から、高濃度のヒ素や重金属を検出したと、米環境保護局（ＥＰＡ）が発表した。同州キングストン近くの発電所で今月下旬、石炭を燃やした後の廃棄物が大量に流出する事故が発生しており、その影響と見られる。

重金属などが検出されたのはエモリー川とクリンチ川。重金属の濃度は、安全な飲料水の基準を少し上回る程度で、人体への影響はない。しかし、ヒ素についてはさらに詳しい調査が必要だと警告している。

廃棄物の流出事故では、発電所で燃やした石炭の燃えかすなど約４１３万立方メートルが流れだし、住宅１５戸が被害を受けた。住民らは避難している。

クリントン長官の年俸、ライス氏より低い１６６０万円に

ワシントン（ＣＮＮ）　ヒラリー・クリントン米上院議員が次期国務長官に就任する上での法的障壁を取り除くため、国務長官の給与を引き下げる法案がこのほど、ブッシュ大統領の署名で成立した。これにより、クリントン氏が国務長官として受け取る年俸は現職のライス氏よりも４７００ドル（約４０万円）下がる。

米議会は２００７年、国務長官の給与を４７００ドル引き上げることを承認した。しかし米国憲法には、議員が任期中に国家公務員の給与を引き上げ、その後議員を辞職して自らその職に就くことを禁じる規定がある。クリントン議員が国務長官に就任すれば、この規定に抵触する恐れがあった。

給与引き下げ法案の成立により、クリントン氏が国務長官として受け取る年俸は１８万６６００ドル（約１６６０万円）となり、ライス国務長官が受け取っている１９万１３００ドル（約１７００万円）よりも低くなる。ただし、クリントン氏の現在の議員報酬１６万９３００ドルは上回る。
