CommentsTreva Myslim says... Robert K. Greenleaf published his seminal essay, The Servant as Leader, in the early 1970's.Since then, leaders committed to finding a better way to serve their organizations have embraced the idea.This volume contains a rich olio of essays by writers, drawn from diverse fields, looking to bring servant leadership from theory into practice.James Autry's essay, "Love and Work" is stunning in its message and based on the fact that the messenger is a former CEO of a large publishing company.Others explore the links between servant leadership and board chairmanship, restorative justice and ethical leadership.Don't pass up Meg Wheatley's essay, "From Hero to Host." Posted on December 1, 2011 Melina Tehney says... This is a wonderful book to read for any leader and anyone who facilitates workshops on leadership.When you believe that leadership is about creating a culture, then this book is THE tool for it.As an executive coach, I recommend this book to all my clients since it will give them examples of powerful questions in many different situations. I would also like to point your attention to resource A which deals with Action Learning, another tool that can help break through "stuck team" situations. Posted on December 1, 2011 Dortha Oajaca says... Chip Conley's new book "Peak" is one of the best business books I have ever read. By applying Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Conley has been able to create a unique culture and in turn, an incredibly successful company.He has focused his attention on getting his employees, customers, and investors to the top of their respective Hierarchy of Needs' pyramids.This unique approach helped his company survive and even thrive through one of the biggest downturns in the hospitality industry. As he states in the book"The basic premise is simple; a unique corporate culture creates happy employees, which leads to greater customer loyalty that in turn drives a profitable and sustainable business." I cannont reccommend this book highly enough.Great insights and inspiring stories. Posted on December 3, 2011 Lia Conner says... For over 10 years, I have been teaching the use of questions as a coaching, management, and leadership tool (in MBA programs, internal-organizational coaches in training courses, and coaches in training). This book is the best resource I have found for the use of questioning as a leadership, management, and coaching tool. It gives theory, background and excellent examples in a variety of areas including: managing people; managing change; building strategy; and building teams. The writing style is smooth and easy to read (the print is also easy on the eyes). Michael Marquardt has done a great service for leadership and management development as well as the coaching field. I highly recommend it for leaders, managers, coaches, AND PARENTS. It posits a credible and effective communication style.

This is a great book and one I think anyone who has aspirations for leadership in any form should consider as a permanent part of their library. Also, if you are having difficulty understanding the leadership competencies of someone you are under this book is a great source. Posted on December 5, 2011 Delmar Mutschler says... While reading this book, I had to have a couple crucial conversations. Prior to going into them I came up with a couple questions that would inspire dialog and happy to report that they went much better than expected. It's nice to have a book that you can relate to and use in daily conversations. I have been a leader for four years and really wish that I had these tools when I started! Posted on December 5, 2011 Shayne Tays says... It was a birthday gift for a son and he was very pleased with the book Posted on December 6, 2011 Keren Nevills says... This book is a collection of essays, all of them based around Robert Greenleaf's groundbreaking essay "The Servant as Leader" and book "Servant Leadership" from the 1970's.Greenleaf introduced a new way to look at leadership, with a focus first on serving, and the ripples of his revolutionary vision for leadership are still resonating with us today.Spears and Lawrence have collected an eclectic assortment of reflections on Greenleaf's work.Some of them are simple essays describing the various behavioral components of Greenleaf's servant leadership.Some of them are interviews with well-known advocates of servant leadership.Some of them are stories of a particular company that has been run under the framework of servant leadership or a unique partnership between two organizations which were collaboratively joined together under servant leadership.This great variation in both style and substance of the various essays kept the book fresh and readable. However, the almost spastic nature of the disparate essays also kept the book from feeling like a cohesive unit with any sort of specific direction.As much as the variation kept the reading experience lively, it almost felt jarring at times to bounce around from essay to essay, without any sense of connection from one to the next (beyond an obvious adoration for Robert Greenleaf and his work that was consistent from beginning to end).I realize that a book of this nature simply cannot flow together as if written by one author, but I feel like some sense of continuity would have been helpful. In any case, I'm glad to have read this book, if for no other reason than to have encountered some specific examples of servant leadership in real-life institutions.Greenleaf's book presents a compelling vision for his idea of servant leadership, but it remains largely theoretical and rather abstract.The stories in this book help to fill out the picture that Greenleaf was painting.Some of the essays were rather forgettable, and the lack of continuity prevented this book from being one of my favorite leadership books, but I'm happy to recommend it to those who would like some helpful follow-up to Greenleaf's work, including specific cases of servant leadership in action.

The book was in great condition.It did not have the paper cover.Seems the previous owner stopped taking the class after the first chapter, as there were no highlighting marks after that.
