The Servant Leader: Unleashing the Power of Your People

The Servant Leader: Unleashing the Power of Your People




How do we develop into leaders whom others will want to follow? Robert Neuschel firmly believed in the principle of servant leadership, which he learned early in his military career in World War II, where a demanding infantry captain taught him, "Always serve your troops first that you may command them better." the philosophy at the heart of The Servant Leader, recognized as one of the world`s leadership texts, is "to grow the total soldier" - to feed the mind, the heart and the spirit.

Neuschel adopted and tailored this philosophy throughout his subsequent long and successful corporate and academic careers. He proved that enabling people at all levels to grow as leaders can only benefit them and the organizations to which they belong.

In the past several decades, Neuschel became concerned with corporate leaders` pre-occupation with quick shareholder value at the expense of building enduring organizations based on ethical values. In this book he forcefully outlines how leaders must take personal responsibility for all their decisions and actions.

The Servant Leader provides thoughtful insights from a man who truly understood the importance of humility and humanity to all those who take on the role of leader.
