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.

You matter. Not because of what you earn or how you look or what you’ve achieved, but because you are inherently valuable. Author Matthew Emerzian takes this seemingly simple premise and shows listeners how truly understanding their own worth will change every aspect of their lives. You Matter is a call to empathy and a joyous celebration of the value of each and every person. You Matter is a manifesto of self-esteem and call to action for people to find their meaning and live fully - and change the world while doing so.

Publisher's Summary
You can try following the steps of someone else who was successful. You can listen to and practice success formulas. You can get highly motivated. You can be optimistic about every moment in your life. But until you really come to understand your purpose and until you follow your own mission, your achievements will lack fulfillment. This pioneering program helps you chart your own personal journey to excellence. According to Ken Blanchard, co-author of the phenomenal international bestseller The One-Minute Manager, the only success that leaves you truly satisfied is the one that makes you a more complete person. And that success will lead to all others. Happiness, relationships, and finances - all fall into place when we begin to live for our own excellence. In Personal Excellence: Where Achievement and Fulfillment Meet, Ken turns his attention toward "Life Management", bringing greater meaning, purpose, and achievement to all the important areas of your life. Beginning deep inside of you, Blanchard's prescribed path to excellence, unlike pre-ordained, cookie-cutter "success systems", is unique to each person who hears it. You learn to create your own success; you find your own way to fulfill your own desires. With thought-provoking stories, practical suggestions, and theories, Ken teaches you to:
- Design your personal Wheel of Excellence with three vital spokes: mission, values, and goals
- Learn how you spiritual nature fuels your drive and ambition
- Understand the six principles involved in the process of change
- Use the P.A.C.T. model to keep your life on track
- Discover the level of development you've achieved in every area of your life
- Implement the H.E.L.P. method for becoming the person you want to be
Ken helps you reach and understand your core beliefs and values, offering special insight into the essential you.

Excellent insights on doing life with excellence
This is a must read for every leader. Aligning your life with your purpose and passion is the best life there is. This book teaches you how to live life to the fullest. Not everybody is called to lead but each one can have a life with a vision. As Dr. Blanchard emphasizes, excellence is living according to your mission, values, and goals. This book teaches us how to get there. The next step is to commit to a life of excellence. This book ties up my life vision and values, and fine-tunes my goals. I’m listening to it for the 7th time in 5 days. Excellence everyday is the goal.
