How Servant Leadership Drives Success Habitat for Humanity International´s Approach to Culture, Engagement, and Results A servant leadership culture engages employees and other stakeholders to create success and investment in the future. At Habitat for Humanity International, many of our employees are exceptionally committed to the mission and purpose of the organization driving high employee engagement, strong growth and resulting impact in providing decent, affordable housing around the world.

Habitat is currently refining our cultural values and leadership behaviors to drive and support an aggressive strategy of drawing nearer to a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We are inspired by this important mission, and we're engaging our employees globally in defining how each of them will personally execute on the mission. We'll share the process we've gone through to engage everyone in the refinement of our cultural values and how we've integrated our servant leadership capability model in all aspects of our talent management processes.
