Seven Pillars of Servant Leadership trains readers in how to evolve and implement the competencies and behaviors of servant leadership using pointed questions, stories, exercises, case studies, and research-based activities that the authors have field-tested with numerous leaders in the public and private sectors. Seven Pillars goes beyond developing individual skills, however. Each chapter includes stories of how servant-led companies have integrated specific servant leadership principles and skills into corporate cultures and policies. The final chapter offers updated strategies and examples so that readers can begin implementing servant leadership in their own organizations. The book includes questions that are ideal for small groups, that reflect the findings of twenty years of research on the changes of human behavior that takes place in individuals and organizations.

Paulist Press

How can servant leadership be put into practice in an organization? That’s question most often asked by people who are introduced to this ethical way of leading and living. Robert Greenleaf biographer Don M. Frick shares inspiring stories of servant leadership in action in five types of organizations—a small coffee shop, a large contracting firm, a VA hospital, a public education system, and a remarkable faith community in a South African settlement. Servant-leaders describe how they do it and the lessons they have learned. Practical, poetic and powerful, this book takes you into a world you’ll not soon forget.

Implementing Servant Leadership: Implementing Servant Leadership: Stories from the Field

D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership

Meet the man whose work influenced some of the world’s most prominent business leaders and spawned a worldwide movement that is still gaining strength today. Robert Greenleaf’s landmark 1970 essay, The Servant as Leader, introduced the now common term “servant leadership” to the world. His work has been cited by leading writers and business people including Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey, Peter Senge, Margaret Wheatley, and Peter Block and led to the development of Centers for Servant Leadership around the world. This long-awaited biography of Robert Greenleaf, authorized by his surviving children, finally tells his story. Drawn from Greenleaf’s personal papers, correspondence, and interviews with family and friends, it provides a fascinating look at the sources of Greenleaf’s thought, his friendships with some of the most influential men and women of the twentieth century—including Eleanor Roosevelt, Peter Drucker, the Menninger brothers, Reinhold Niebuhr, Aldous Huxley, Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson, and many others—and how he influenced business history well before his first book was published at the age of seventy-three. At a time when leadership and management fads substitute as wisdom, Robert Greenleaf’s life stories provide clues for how each person can make a difference in the workplace, no matter what position he or she holds.
