Servant Leadership : von Robert K. Greenleaf
Par for the course of self-improvement books. The principles are good, but the style of this genre does not appeal to me.
This book challenged my thinking in regard to the role of the seminary and theological education within the church world. I appreciate much of what it says.
I have been exposed to the idea of servant leadership in the past. However, I was rather surprised to understand the implicit connection that the author appears to make between servant leadership and his own pacifistic views. What struck me is that only a pacifist can hold to the theory of servant leadership.

This is a very good book on leaders as servants; doing an excellent job of delineating what that idea truly means. The terminology can be a bit challenging as he writes across institutional lines applying his concepts to business & industry, as well as educational and religious institutions. Greenleaf suggests that foundational to a successful institution is the requirement that it must be more than simply the chief administrator who has a deep commitment. He calls for the board/trustees/synod/executive committee to be comprised of highly committed individuals who are very supportive of the missional goal of the organization. He insists that the chief administrator (CEO/president/minister) should be a first among equals. But he also insists that the equals must be equally committed to make the institution successful. The book expands and offers thoughts about the ways to accomplish this. It is not an easy read – much more like a textbook than anything else, but for those who are administrator’s there are tools here that can be utilized to build the organization.… (mehr)
