Servant Leadership

Robert K. Greenleaf
A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power & Greatness

A true classic that remains every bit as relevant today.

Greenleaf conceived the idea of servant leadership during a time of chaos in the United States – the late 60’s. For the last 50 years, his writings have been used to instruct, encourage, and motivate leaders to serve as they lead. By exploring this idea throughout the multiple essays gathered in the book, he left a legacy by which people in very different times can continue to be inspired.

The book speaks to leadership versus management, and helping people succeed, rather than managing them. Greenleaf reminds us that no leader is greater than the people he or she leads, and even the humblest of tasks is worthy for a leader to do.

Leadership is what we desperately need today, not only in our Systems Integrations businesses, but also in the industry as a whole. We need people who can help others find the right path for them, so we can succeed together. It’s all about achieving intended outcomes.

Greenleaf’s writings grow with you, revealing more depth and opportunities with each reading.
