Abstract

One of the most important leadership dimensions relates to the judgment process. Servant leaders are called upon to make important decisions in such areas as performance management, selection and promotion, discipline, and the cultivation of organizational ethics and morality, among other key areas. By judgment, we are referring to the process of determining the level of individual or group accountability and responsibility for decisions and behavior. As with almost all servant leader principles, these types of decisions entail balancing competing values and principles, and hence they are nuanced, thus requiring the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Servant leaders are responsible for the overall promotion of order, peace, stability, organizational wellbeing, and mission achievement. Therefore, there will be difficult decisions related to human conduct that manifest profound implications for the welfare of organizational members and their families. A good place to begin relates to a biblical view of judgment. What are the key principles?
