Servant Leadership Revisited
Insights on Leadership taps current and respected authors and scholars for their thoughts and strategies on shared responsibility, leading by example, and establishing a sense of community - all hallmarks of Robert Greenleaf's servant leadership legacy.The text comprises 33 essays organized around four themes: service, stewardship, spirit, and servant-leadership. The essays are refreshing because they are rooted not only in a spiritual domain but also in exemplary and successful practice. Even with a recent proliferation of mass-market business writing that includes an element of the spiritual, this text offers a variety of approaches with fresh and singular perspectives. This is due partly to the different disciplines the authors represent as well as the creative approaches these authors take to applying the servant-leadership philosophy and model to specific work problems. This book is quite readable and inspiring. Each essay is carefully reasoned, clearly expressed, and devoid of management jargon. It should be on the reading list of those who wish to transform themselves and their organizations by embracing the fact that they are servants and stewards of those with whom they work.
