## Resource

Steward Leadership : A Deep Dive into How Power Is Held in Trust...In this episode, we explore steward leadership as a moral alternative to possessive leadership. What does it mean to hold power without treating it as personal property? What does a leader owe the people, mission, and institution placed in their care? Drawing on Peter Block, Wendell Berry, Robert Greenleaf, Henri Nouwen, R. Scott Rodin, Charles Feltman , and Davis, Schoorman, and Donaldson , this deep dive examines trust, service, vulnerability, succession, false stewardship, and the discipline of leaving things better than you found them. This is not a discussion of leadership style. It is a study of power, responsibility, and what it means to lead as a steward rather than just as an owner.
