Servant Leadership in Action

How You Can Achieve Great Relationships and Results

De: Ken Blanchard, Renee Broadwell

Narrado por: Natalie Hoyt, Jeff Hoyt

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.

The power of LUV

Loved the entire book. As a servant leader, i will take the lessons learned here and go change the world.

Required for Virtual Aspiring Supervisor Program

Of the five titles, this appealed to me the most as it most closely fit my leadership style. Highly recommended.

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.

Gave me a lot to think about!

Gave me a lot to consider for my leadership style! Due to the unique nature of this book, should have had a few more readers.

Much better than I expected

Although a fan of Ken Blanchard, I hesitated buying this book since it was a compilation of essays from various authors. I was concerned that it would be repetitive and disjointed; it was not. I found the varying perspectives and insights to be interesting and highly engaging.

Servant Leadership is the way

Thank you for sharing these insights. Definitely the way to lead an organization. Time for me to step into leadership.

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.

Several good examples of servant leadership

It was great hearing examples from many different leaders from many different business sectors. Thank you

fantastic

loved every word. No better example of a leader than Jesus and this is well pointed out.
