Top Servant Leader Tweeters Award - 2011

Top 10 Servant Leadership Tweeters in 2011

Top Servant Leader Tweeters Award - 2011Part of my mission is to spread servant leadership awareness. Therefore, I greatly appreciate folks on Twitter who spread servant leadership content. Last year, I highlighted 5 individuals to whom I was especially grateful for their ongoing support and promotion of these principles. This year, I’ve expanded the list to 10 and created a more formal recognition. Here are this year’s winners:

10. Axiom News

Axiom’s news network is full of great information that is worth sharing. Several times this year, they’ve taken a story that may have only been seen by servant leadership proponents and shared it with a broader audience. I am grateful to them for their contiuing covereage of our movement.

9. Greenleaf Center

8. Jeff Miller

Speaking of the Greenleaf Center…  I first met Jeff at the Greenleaf Servant Leadership conference several years ago. Since that time, I’ve been impressed by his growing influence on Twitter. I’m always excited to see what servant leadership content he is sharing.

4. Dr. Jack King

Jack is last year’s top tweeter. His presentations on servant leadership are very unique. I especially like his emphasis on native american leadership lessons and quotes. This year, Dr. King’s Collective Voice at ServantHearts.com focused its attention more specifically on empowerment. However, he still continues to share great servant leadership perspectives.

3. JT Jackson

Mr. Jackson is another returning member from last year’s list and still holds the best Twitter name. “Servant Tweeter” often shares the latest and greatest of the servant leadership movement. But that’s not all. JT is also a great servant leadership practitioner, as he works to bring greater educational opportunities to his community.

2. James Strock

I found Chris by chance on Twitter and am glad I did. Chris’s content through Ken Blanchard companies and his own blog is frequently among the best servant leadership material. Chris has his pulse on the servant leadership movement and keeps us updated whenever he finds something worth sharing.

Criteria for Top Servant Leadership Tweeters

Congratulations to those recognized this year! If you did not make the list, there is a good chance I just missed you in my consolidation effort. Please let me know of anyone you feel should be added, with a comment below. While these results are entirely subjective and at my own discretion, here are the rough criteria I used for the selection and placement:

1. Servant Leadership Promotion: The individual or organization must promote “servant leadership”. There are countless individuals promoting the principles and ideals of servant leadership under some other name or terminology. Unfortunately, that group is simply too large for me to capture and reflect here.

2. Frequency: References to servant leadership must be frequent. The higher the frequency, the higher the placement on this list, generally speaking.

3. Activity: The account must be currently active and not fully automated.
