Deborah L. DeHaas, Partner, Deloitte & Touche USA

Consistent with Greenleaf’s (1977) servant leadership model focusing on putting service before self-interest, listening first to affirm others, inspiring trust and character, and helping others become whole and accept responsibilities, the fifth component of transformational women leadership is understanding of power and boundaries (Porter & Daniel, 2007). Deborah L. DeHaas, Midwest Regional Managing Partner of Deloitte & Touche USA LLP is a good example. Her personal values include integrity, quality of client service, quality of people, and a strong commitment to everyone—clients and staff alike—ensuring satisfaction for all. DeHaas is motivated by opportunities to make a difference and help impact people in a positive way. She likes to get the best out of her people. Her golden rules include being a good communicator and treating colleagues and clients with dignity, respect, and in a fair-minded way. DeHaas encourages them in the consultative process and encourages them to come to the conclusion that creates a solution for the shareholders. In leadership terms, it is about being a servant leader, a truly empowering values-based style that enables followers to accomplish organizational goals. Moreover, she describes herself as most effective with a team of people. DeHaas has always worked in an environment where there has been a team. In her view, you recruit the right people and build a great team around you, members recognize and embrace their roles, and goal-setting comes next.
