I read this book 5 years ago and just finished it a second time this weekend. This is still a great book and should be required reading for all leaders or those who wish to become leaders. I would go so far as to recommend this book for everybody.

I agree with the other reviews. This book is excellent for anyone in a leadership position...professional and otherwise. It is a quick read that is easy to comprehend and memorable.

I took away at least one "golden nugget" from this book that I have already begun implementing in a variety of settings (i.e., work and social). I recommend this book to anyone who works or volunteers with people, both leaders and non-leaders alike. The author conveys the message in a story format and the book is not full of statistical data, which is kind of refreshing for a book of this type.

The book was an excellent read. The text was well organized and easy to read, yet the content was very motivational. I look at leadership from a different view now. The title really says it all. Great leaders will be great servants. The book will change your thinking.

This book is filled with succinct, practical advice on how to live a fulfilling life of purpose. Its power lies in its simplicity, and its value lies in its believeable application to life's daily challenges. The gems revealed in this book will, when applied, make our world a much better place to live. Calling all coaches, teachers, administrators, and executives...well worth your time!

As a program operations administrator, I have been practicing and using the principles of servant leadership with my staff, friends, peers etc. since I purchased the book at a USDA Conference in Orlando Florida in 2000. The book is always within arms reach and I read certain pages over and over again. If everyone in a leadership role would acquire and utilize the skills of servant leadership, the workplace environment, production, creativity etc would be greatly improved.

Along this book, you found the simple rules of the 'leadership art', here are remarked the human qualities that we have to develop in a way to reach the essence of a good leader. If you give a human respect to the people, they respect and accept your authority. Be a leader is a compromise and a challenge, you must to work hard if you made this choice.

After my first reading, I had to put it down and soak in all of the thoughts and feelings that were found. This book gives a different method (meaning something not taught in school) for looking at yourself and how you 'love' others as a leader. Make the choice to change, you can find the first step in this book. I will be reading this again and taking notes for growth.

Enjoyed having the principles of servant leadership expressed in story form. I am reading the book a second time and making notes on the leadership principles.

To get his life back on track, he reluctantly attends a weeklong leadership retreat at a remote Benedictine monastery.To John's surprise, the monk leading the seminar is a former business executive and Wall Street legend. Taking John under his wing, the monk guides him to a realization that is simple yet profound: The true foundation of leadership is not power, but authority, which is built upon ...
