Publisher's Summary
We've seen the negative impact of self-serving leaders in every sector of our society. Not infrequently, they end up bringing down their entire organization. But there is another way. Servant leaders lead by serving their people, not by exalting themselves. In this collection, edited by legendary business author and lifelong servant leader Ken Blanchard and his longtime editor Renee Broadwell, leading businesspeople, best-selling authors, and spiritual leaders offer tools for implementing this proven - but for some, still radical - leadership model.
The book is organized into six parts. Part one, Fundamentals of Servant Leadership, describes basic aspects of servant leadership. Part two, Elements of Servant Leadership, highlights some of the different points of view of servant leaders. Part three, Lessons in Servant Leadership, focuses on what people have learned on a personal level from observing servant leadership in action. Part four, Exemplars of Servant Leadership, features people who have been identified as classic servant leaders. Part five, Putting Servant Leadership to Work, offers firsthand accounts of people who have made servant leadership come alive in their organizations. Part six, Servant Leadership Turnarounds, illustrates how servant leadership can dramatically impact both results and human satisfaction in organizations.
This is the most comprehensive and wide-ranging guide ever published for what is, in every sense, a better way to lead.

source of organizational and personall change
Each and every chapter of this book has a inmense valuable lesson, its so much that one wonders where should I start, I believe that I will be reading, meditating and evaluating my life and work against each lesson of this book in order to commit to the behavioral changes and character transformation need to become a Servant Leader.

Must read for everyone.
We are all leaders in someone's life. if we all understood that we were on earth to serve one another the world would be a better place. This work shares that message again and again.

Great read if you’re already familiar with SL
This has been one of my favorite servant leadership books to date. The personal accounts were inspiring and motivating. They really gave me fresh insight on how servant leadership looks different in many situations, though keeping the same core principles and how I can better apply it in my life without actually telling me what to do. The narration was great as well.

Now I Understand More about Servant Leadership
I really enjoyed this book. I liked all the examples that were given and especially the ones about Southwest Airlines, Popeyes and anything that compared it to Christs life as one of the first highly noted servant leaders. it's a very intriguing proposition. I haven't had the chance to work in this type of environment in my 51 years of working, though my current company is moving in that direction.

Terrible
I wanted a book outlining the fundamentals of servant leadership, not a history lesson on Jesus Christ.

Communism
I find it so hilarious that this book perfectly describes communism and things that literally cannot be done at all without socialist reform (like a Nordstrom employee leaving the store to get what a customer wanted without up charging them…) while somehow appealing to nationalist power hungry Christians. Hilarious and fantastic.
