 Nothing new Feb 11, 2010
The idea of servant leadership isn't new to me. I thought this book was going to redefine how I looked at servant leadership but it didn't. However, it was still a good book. The author of this book actually coined the idea of servant leadership back in the early 1970's and he had devoted his life to the study of servant leadership.
If you are going into any leadership position, this is a good book to look over, but not an essential.

 Difficult to read Oct 16, 2009
This is definitely not a page turner. No doubt there are some good truths in the book but the style of writing makes it difficult to remain interested.
Idealistic, Judeo-Christian approach to long-time, visionary business management Oct 07, 2009
If we invest in people by valuing them as the reason we are here on earth, then our behavior, thoughts, and deeds will force us into the role of servants. The best servants become people whose service causes them to be viewed as leaders. Once cast into the role of servant-leader, the individual must develop and hone leadership capabilities and qualities that make life better for everyone: clients, customers, community, etc.
People tend to be loyal to the servant-leader. Loyalty, in turn, becomes a solid footer of the foundation on which the long-lasting enterprise is built.
 Leadership as it must be Feb 16, 2009
Anyone can be a leader. Of course, there are good, better and best ways to approach leadership. This book explains the best way to approach leadership. Not just a leader however, but a great leader. Greenleaf adds something extremely important to the discussion of leadership in this book. Its an easy read and definitely worth the time. He looks at the subject of leadership through examples of great leaders.

Required reading Jan 13, 2009
I need to purchase this book for required reading for my Leadership class. The beginning of the book wasn't so bad, but as you continue to read the writer keeps repeating the same points as in the beginning.
