A Practical Guide to Using the Principles of Servant Leadership

Leadership is a

calling. And servant leadership-the idea that managing with respect, honesty, love,

and spirituality empowers employees-helps individuals answer that calling. Bestselling

author and former Fortune 500 executive James A. Autry reveals the servant leader's

tools, a set of skills and ideals that will transform the way business is done. It

helps leaders nurture the needs and goals of those who look to them for leadership.

The result is a more productive, successful, and happier organization, and a more

meaningful life for the leader.

Autry reveals how to remain true to the servant leadership

model when handling day-to-day and long-term management situations, including how

to-

.

Provide guidance during conflict and crisis

.

Assure your continued growth

and progress as a leader

.

Train managers in the principles of servant leadership

.

Transform a company with morale problems into a great place to work

Practiced

by one-third of the companies on Fortune's ""100 Best Companies to Work For"" list,

servant leadership is a thriving philosophy. Ultimately, Autry explores how it can

be a valuable, refreshing, and rewarding approach to leading others in business life.

Reviews for The Servant Leader: How to Build a Creative Team, Develop Great Morale, and Improve Bottom-Line Performance

This is an awesome book. James Autry's gift is that he brings lofty ideals down to earth with general illustrations that make them easy to understand and apply. I highly recommend it! --Jack Canfield, coauthor, Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work. The Servant Leader illuminates a clear path to personal, spiritual, and material actualization, which, in return, creates an infinite circle of prosperity. --Tom Gould, retired chairman and CEO, Younkers, Inc. Quite simply, this is an extraordinary book. It is a classic already and the first truly great leadership book of the new century. --John Noble, director, Greenleaf Center, UK The Servant Leader is really the best field guide I've seen for helping managers transform themselves into true leaders. --Doug Greene, CEO, New Hope Group Servant leadership is a bold step toward a necessary redefinition of business as an arena of caring and not a mere instrument for producing profit. --Sam Keen, author, Hymns to an Unknown God and Fire in the Belly This is an awesome book.
