Story4.5 out of 5 stars 195
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.

Stick with it
Takes a little while to get into the book. Stick with it. The beauty is in the historical vignettes. The leadership applications could be gleaned by reading the table of contents and the bullet list at the end of each chapter.

Not a fan...
I may be in the minority, but I do not like Williams' style or presentation. I feel like he tries to force historical accounts and stories into his personal points that he is trying to make. He paints a caricature of world-famous leaders throughout history (also somewhat cherry-picking big names, not original at all), and in turn, he neglects the nuances of their personalities and only mentions individual challenges as an aside. Leadership is not a recipe to follow based on proof-texting from history, which is the way this came across. I also do not like his delivery in audio format either...came across like I was an audience of one in a large auditorium of a corporate motivational speaker...which is what Pat Williams is.
