Abstract
This article presents the S-E-R-V-E model as a model of sustainable leadership. It does so by offering a contextual, constructive theological deliberation on a particular case: The Norwegian Schools of Leadership and Theology. It is demonstrated that sustainable organizational leadership includes at least five meta-categories or forms of leadership and that these dimensions are orientated towards different forms of sustainability. There are both trade-offs and tensions between these modes of organizational leadership, and leaders need to develop the virtue of prudent (phronetic) leadership to provide a sustainable integration. However, within this context, prudence will be seen as a form of spirituality that integrates deliberation, narrative, practices and affections to form a sustainable whole.
