1 Highly Recommended!
The late Robert K. Greenleaf was widely revered for his profound impact on leadership theory during the last three decades of the 20th century. Eight of his most compelling essays on servant-leadership (a term he coined) are published here in book form for the first time. These essays testify to Greenleaf's legacy and to his important role in the philosophies of leadership and service. Issues of spirit, vision and wholeness are woven through many of these essays, which address individual and institutional leadership in all areas, including government, business, religion, education and philanthropy. We at getAbstract highly recommend this eloquent book to those contemplating or holding leadership positions.

2 Food for thought for the 21st century leader.
As a Doctoral student writing on servant leadership, I found the newest book put out by The Greenleaf Center to be as interesting and thought-provoking as those published previously. If organizations are to be successful as we enter the 21st century, perhaps this book should become required reading at leadership seminars.

Greenleaf has a style all his own, but the material flows well and is readily understandable by the reader.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who leads in organizations.

• Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.

		-- John Kenneth Galbraith





"I got into an elevator at work and this man followed in after me... I

pushed '1' and he just stood there... I said 'Hi, where you going?'  He

said, 'Phoenix.'  So I pushed Phoenix.  A few seconds later the doors

opened, two tumbleweeds blew in... we were in downtown Phoenix.  I looked

at him and said 'You know, you're the kind of guy I want to hang around

with.'  We got into his car and drove out to his shack in the desert.

Then the phone rang.  He said 'You get it.'  I picked it up and said

'Hello?'... the other side said 'Is this Steven Wright?'... I said 'Yes...'

The guy said 'Hi, I'm Mr. Jones, the student loan director from your bank...

It seems you have missed your last 17 payments, and the university you

attended said that they received none of the $17,000 we loaned you... we

would just like to know what happened to the money?'  I said, 'Mr. Jones,

I'll give it to you straight.  I gave all of the money to my friend Slick,

and with it he built a nuclear weapon... and I would appreciate it if you never

called me again."
