Summary

VOICES OF SERVANT-LEADERSHIP " Servant-leadership has never been more applicable to the world of leadership than it is today." -- Ken Blanchard, author, The Heart of Leadership " We are each indebted to Greenleaf for bringing spirit and values into the workplace." -- Peter Block, author, Stewardship " I congratulate the Greenleaf Center for its invaluable service to society and for carrying the torch of servant-leadership over the years." -- Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People " Robert Greenleaf takes us beyond cynicism and cheap tricks and simplified techniques into the heart of the matter, into the spiritual lives of those who lead." -- Parker Palmer, author, The Courage to Teach " Servant-leadership is more than a concept. As far as I' m concerned, it is a fact. I would simply define it by saying that any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will,see herself or himself primarily as a servant of that group and will act accordingly." -- M. Scott Peck, author, The Road Less Traveled " No one in the past thirty years has had a more profound impact on thinking about leadership than Robert Greenleaf. If we sought an objective measure of the quality of leadership available to society, there would be none better than the number of people reading and studying his writings." -- Peter M. Senge, author, The Fifth Discipline Contributors include James A. Autry, John C. Bogle, Richard R. Broholm, John C. Burkhardt, John Carver, Don DeGraaf, Shann R. Ferch, Robert K. Greenleaf, Daniel H.
