Servant Leader: Transforming Your Heart, Head, Hands and Habits

so what is new under the sun? the author does basic review and really applies servantude to the reader. ordered books for family and friends.

I was so blessed and encouraged by this spirit-filled, informative, eye-opening, inspirational, challenging, motivational, and scripturally sound ... Work of Art! At the end, my next thought was, "I need to read this book again and again until I can apply every truth principle to MY life! May God bless even more "

I read "The Servant Leader" as part of my on-boarding process with my new company. For several weeks, I've watched the leaders working within their planning, training, coaching and selling processes with great interest--as there is something deeper with more attention to what drives each and every employee than in other organizations for which I've worked. This has been very interesting because of the commitment and values-focus the executives apply. Now--having read the book--I understand the basis of this employee development and support process. While the Christen focus at first surprised me, it is valuable to see how the servant leadership principles can be applied to practical aspects of today's organizations. I understand the points made by some of the other reviewers about the brevity of the book and the lack of detail and depth. Unlike other such books--where detailed case studies and descriptions of how specific companies may have succeeded using this approach--I think this decision to keep the discussion at a high level works better. In this way, you can think through your own ways of aligning servant leadership with the goals, values and picture of the future of your own organization. The authors recognize that bringing servant leadership into one's own management approach is no easy matter ... that it will take a long time, many iterations and constant visionary and implementation experimentation to finally succeed.

As four generations are in the workforce today, I picked my book up again for another read. Today's leaders are more like parents or Role Models if you are a servant leader, so I enjoyed my refresher. So much is changing, and I am preparing the next generation of leaders so it's important to do it right. I love this book. I'm a Christian. It may not be a book for you if you do not believe in Jesus. The business principles are still spot on nevertheless.

"THE SERVANT LEADER" book was first given to me by a minister in 2003 when I served as one of the local pastors in my faith. This highly valued reference book has been most most effective in helping me to continually transcend my leadership skills starting with the inside transformation of my heart, head, hands and habits. I more recently ordered the Kindle edition to have this book more readily available for quick excerpt reading. I would highly recommend this book to any leader interested in advocating and promoting Jesus Christ and His teachings as a model for true leadership.

This book epitomizes a how to guide for servant leaders. Blanchard has provided illustrative examples based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ to improve leadership skills that will last a lifetime. He closes the book with a guide to revisit skills supportive of the commitment to servant leadership. He also provides a pledge that can serve a reusable template to track your goals while navigating endless leadership challenges. This book is a must read for hands on operational leaders and strategic executives alike.

The Servant Leader, by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges, is a beautifully-designed book from J. Countryman, a division of Thomas Nelson. Its 125 pages, richly illustrated, offer an easily digested overview of the authors' themes of servant leadership and situational leadership. It is obvious from the design that this book is not intended, like many leadership books, to be plowed through and underlined and annotated; it is more conducive to thoughtful meditation over a longer period of digestion. While parts of the book (such as the couple pages on solitude and prayer) are more basic than I'd like, there are still some helpful insights and welcome reminders for any leader, whatever his or her level of accomplishment or spirituality. I found especially helpful the authors' list of seven reactions people have to change, and the tactics leaders can employ to ease the pain of change. The book also offers a useful introduction to Blanchard's Situational Leadership concept. If you're looking for depth or have already read numerous Blanchard books, look elsewhere. If you haven't yet read much of Ken Blanchard's work, or if you're looking for a devotional approach to the topic of servant leadership (or a perfect gift for someone in leadership), you'll love The Servant Leader.

A complete waste of money. This is the worst that Ken Blanchard can produce. I've read several wonderful leadership books from him... but this one is an exception. This book preaches Christianity / Jesus more than Servant Leadership
