Robert K Greenleaf Center Inc Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership

Established in 1964 by its namesake, Robert K. Greenleaf, the Greenleaf Center is a non-profit organization working to promote the awareness, understanding and practice of servant leadership. Through his seminal 1970 essay, The Servant as Leader, Greenleaf launched the modern movement of servant leadership, challenging the traditional hierarchical approach to leadership by placing the primary emphasis on the well-being of others. Since 2019, the Center has been housed on the South Orange, New Jersey campus of Seton Hall University. Greenleaf maintains its independence and 501(c)(3) status, while benefiting from the University's rich tradition of service and preparing students to be leaders in a global society. The Center's signature programs include the Greenleaf Online Academy, Greenleaf Research Scholars, the Coffee With Webinar Series, Next Generation Initiative and Robert K. Greenleaf Public Policy Lecture.
