Editorial Reviews
Product Description
In this inspirational and practical book are gathered some of the classic works of visionary management consultant and educator Robert K. Greenleaf. This volume includes his definitive work on developing servant-leadership in a university, Teacher as Servant. Along with that parable are two of his essays, "Life's Choices and Markers," and the original version of "The Servant as Leader," written for a student audience. Each provides a different but complementary perspective on servant-leadership and its relationship to the art of teaching and the act of learning.
For this edition, the editors have added commentary to make the parable and essays even more useful to those interested in the teaching and practice of servant-leadership.
Highlights:
--ideal text to use in teaching servant-leadership to anyone with ties to the academic world
--appropriate as well for teaching in the business world
