Sherrica Senewiratne is an Organizational Psychologist, and PhD candidate at Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia. Sherrica’s avid interest in servant leadership arose from her experiences in dealing with leaders who exhibit various leadership styles, which triggered an interest in investigating servant leadership and its impact on followers. Specifically, she is interested in servant leader well-being, with an emphasis on personal resources that can help to avoid feelings of depletion in servant leaders. This is the primary focus of her PhD studies, which she hopes will encourage further study around leader-specific outcomes that leads to greater awareness around resources that help leaders to cope during stressful situations. Sherrica believes leader well-being is an important area of research to ensure leaders are bringing their best selves to work and encouraging followers to do the same.
