Concept of Stewardship

� Concept of responsible caretaking; based on the premise that we do

not own resources, but are managers and are responsible to future

generations for their condition -www.jcpsky.net/Departments/EnvironmentalEd

� The concept that mankind has an ethical responsibility to care for 

plants, animals, and the environment as a whole, due to our superior 

intellect and power to change the natural world -

www.environment.nelson.com� A steward is ³one who acts as a supervisor or administrator, as of 

finances and property, for another or others.́ ± Webster Dictionary

� ourselves

� material and natural resources

� knowledge and innovations

� our children, employees

� our portion of business or other organizations� self-regulation and professional standards ±

Concept of Stewardship

� Stewardship is an alternative to leadership. Stewardship

asks us to be deeply accountable for the outcomes of aninstitution, without acting to define purpose of others,

control others, or take care of others. It can be most

simply defined as giving order to the dispersion of power.

� Source: Peter Block in ³Stewardship ± Choosing Service

over Self-Interest´

Stewardship PrinciplesStewardship Principles

� The gift of human creativity especially should be used tocultivate nature and the environment, recognizing the

limitations of our actual knowledge and the risks of destroying these gifts

� Accordingly, simply because something can be donedoes not necessarily mean that it should be done (thefallacy of the technological imperative)
