What is Servant Leadership?

Servant Leadership is one of my favorite concepts. For me itโ€™s a no brainer. So, let me explain why.

LESSON NOTES
The idea for Servant Leadership came from a corporate manager called Robert Greenleaf, in 1958. Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness https://geni.us/6Z7Z

Journey To The East, by Hermann Hesse – https://geni.us/MSS95vN

Greenleafโ€™s original conception of Servant Leadership was a moral one. We have a responsibility to help the people we lead to grow and develop. So, we must serve them.

I describe the twin roles of a servant leader as:
Rations
Providing their team with everything they need, to do their jobs.
Raincoat
Protecting them from anything that can interfere with doing their jobs.

Max De Pree stepped down as CEO in 1987, he published his best-selling book, โ€˜Leadership is an Artโ€™ https://geni.us/AB06lge

RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books – perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.

So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:

๐Ÿ“– Leaders Eat Last
https://geni.us/ZIawP8Y
๐Ÿ“– Start with Why
https://geni.us/D8ZSs
๐Ÿ“– Humble Leadership
https://geni.us/KMuCl
๐Ÿ“– The Leadership Challenge
https://geni.us/nyQ3
๐Ÿ“– The New Leaders
https://geni.us/5ziIw
๐Ÿ“– Shackleton’s Way
https://geni.us/Oicsj
๐Ÿ“– Why should Anyone be Led by You
