The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principle: How to Become a Servant Leader

If you are a supervisor, manager, boss - whatever - I Strongly encourage you to read this book. It was assigned to me for my Positive Psych class and I am very glad it was. It is easy reading and you may find, as I did, that you don't mind reading it and actually look forward to reading it. I ended up reading ahead of what the class assignments were. There is some that falls into the "no kidding" category but for the most part, it is very good at reminding us how to interact with those around us and what motivates people.I Highly recommend this book. Great for newly promoted supervisors and great for stale, been-there-to-long supervisors.

If only this was a required read for everyone promoting into supervisory, managerial, and leadership positions.Part of the secret arsenal for any effective leader.It was so impactful, I've given it as a gift.

James Hunter follows up on "The Servant" with this book: "The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principle". I am still not sure there is enough new material presented to warrant this release. It contains so much from the first book but does add additional quips, quotes, and anecdotes, and some new material.Perhaps Hunter wrote this book to appeal more broadly to a secular readership. "The Servant" was clearly a spiritual journey; "World's Most Powerful..." is a more secular treatise and will be much more widely accepted in MBA classrooms.But whether one approaches servant leadership from a faith or secular point of view, the truth remains the same. These basic, solid principles of leadership work.Not all truths about human nature and leadership are self-evident: some are contained in paradox: leaders must be servants, giving of yourself releases giving to you, to get love you must give love first, and others.All in all, this is a solid book which contains some real gems.

After Jim wrote The Servant, he was bombarded with questions! How does a person become a servant leader? That lead to the writing of this "how to" book.If you haven't read The Servant, don't despair, Jim provides a review of the concepts and benefits of this type of leadership. Then with both inspiration and detail, he shares how to move forward and become a real servant leader. It is not a process for the faint of heart.For example, he asks the leader to get feedback from their associates. The book gives you the actual feedback form to distribute. Once the results are in, the leader is asked to thank their team members and tell them specifically what the leader has chosen to improve. This takes some guts!If you are a leader in a social organization, a non-profit, at work or in a club and you are interested in leading with your heart and spirit, give this book a try. You won't be disappointed.

Really geared towards religious nuts. If I'm investing in a corporation, I want leaders who will increase the value of the enterprise and therefore make me richer. I bet this book does well in Texas and the deep south.

If you believe that serving others is the basis for successful management culture then read this book. I plan to share this with the managers in my organization and we will see where it takes us. If you are serious about growing as a manager and leader then this book is for you.

This is the best book I have read on leadership. When I read it, I recognized that the qualities the author proposed were those I had experienced through every great boss I had ever had. To me, following a broader concept is much easier than following a laundry list of behaviors. Very good read!

I had go read this book for my Capstone college course. I am majoring in Health Service Administration. The book breaks down how to be a good leader to those you are in charge of. It shows that being a "boss" isn't about managing people but bringing yourself down to their level and treating them as equals, working together to make any business successful.

What a book! I have a degree on Leadership from the University of Oxford and feel that I could have saved tons of money spent on the degree if only I had read this book earlier. I always suspected that leadership and character had a close link yet proudly claimed, rather naively, that I was a different person at home and at work. I was wrong! I faced the same issues at both places- lack of trust, hostility, friction and no true allies or friends. This book so clearly shares the secret not only to be a good leader, but a good human too. None of the concepts shared in this book are surprising but the conviction with which the author proves his point and cajoles you on this new path of self-discovery is amazing. I am rather disappointed that this book has only 180 reviews whereas other books on leadership which are pure drivels enjoy thousands of positive reviews.This book has to be the holy grail for those who seek to become good leaders and human beings.

Es retador. En forma concisa y directa expone los principios que debemos seguir en todas nuestras acciones y con sencillez y claridad cuestiona lo que hemos hecho y/o haremos en adelante

Great Quality and Service.
