What similarities and differences do you see across the four religious traditions? How has this shaped your thinking about other religious traditions? Please strengthen your claims with supporting citations.

Topic 3 DQ 2: Servant leadership is explored within different cultural contexts in Chapter 10 of the textbook. Identify at least two culturally specific variables that impede the adoption of servant leadership within one specific cultural perspective. If you were transferred to that country to work, fully aware that you would encounter those impediments, how do you think they could best be overcome in order to enable servant leadership to be implemented in a culturally compatible manner?

Topic 3 DQ 3: Arguably, some of the most influential servant leaders of our history have been Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Roberto Clemente.
