Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This book is a collection of 26 essays and commentaries on servant leadership by about two dozen authors, including Peter Senge, M. Scott Peck, Ann McGee-Cooper, and two by the father of this idea, Robert Greenleaf. For almost 20 years, Greenleaf's theories of servant leadership have been gaining followers. As the name implies, this value-based theory is rooted in the belief that we can learn from one another. The essays look at the theory as it has grown and been redefined over the past two decades. Servant leadership is important to contemporary management, and this work will be essential reading for those interested in Greenleaf's theory. Highly recommended for all business collections.?Michael D. Kathman, St. John's Univ. Lib., Collegeville, Minn.

From Booklist
Greenleaf was director of management research at AT&T when he retired in 1964 and where he had spent most of his career working in management research, development, and education. After retirement, he established the Center for Applied Ethics. Greenleaf felt that the role of the organizational leader was fulfilled in serving others--employees, customers, and community--in order to establish a sense of community and share decision making while, at the same time, setting high standards and leading by example. His epiphany came after reading Hermann Hesse's Journey to the East in the 1960s, and he formulated his philosophy in a privately circulated essay The Servant as Leader, which has now sold more than a quarter million copies. Greenleaf died in 1990, but his word continues to be spread by the Indianapolis-based Robert K. Greenleaf Center, of which Spears is the executive director. Spears has gathered here 27 essays by like-minded proponents of Greenleaf's ideas, including M. Scott Peck (The Road Less Traveled) and Peter Senge (The Fifth Discipline). This book should prove more durable than the many management books now available touting quick fixes and faddish concepts. David Rouse
