The Acronym Model of SERVANT-Leadership™ includes practicing EMPATHY. This 7-minute lesson shows this principle as learned by Al Harrison (played by Kevin Costner), through the courage of Katherine Johnson (played by Taraji P. Henson), part of a team of female African-American’s playing a vital role in the early days of the NASA space program. Johnson wrestles with the obstacles of segregation and meet the demands of Johnson and the NASA space race.
As Harrison fails to fully grasp the impacts of segregation on his Ms. Johnson, he becomes very frustrated with her absence. Through Johnson’s frustrations and courage, Harrison learns an important lesson in the critical role of empathy for leaders.
If you or your organization could use support developing leaders, let’s talk!
