Book excerpt: Since the dawn of time, animals and humans have sorted each other into two groups: leaders and followers. This is true in every situation where two or more people gather; there will always be a leader and a follower. Throughout human history, many different styles of leadership exist-form transactional to transformational styles. Transactional leaders require a transaction; an employee (follower) performs a task while the employer (leader) gives them a paycheck. While transactional types are useful, however, this style is rarely sustainable. transactional leadership does very little to make people want leadership style themselves. This in turn has a limiting effect on the positive growth of the community. This book explores the topic of transformational leadership style. More specifically, this book is about servant leadership, or leading from behind. This style of leadership can positively change people and communities for the better as the leader urges their followers and supports them in a quest to do better for themselves; this then make the communities people live in better as well. Because servant leadership aims to better others, this model is much more sustainable for the long term and perpetuates it own growth as servant leaders continually mentor the next generation of leaders to build communities of listening, empathy, healing, and internal/external awareness. The servant-leader works to persuade others to want to be better, not coerce them. A servant-leader knows more input is better than none and allows others to conceptualize and plan the processes of a project. the servant-leader uses their prior knowledge and the lessons heard from others to predict how their decisions will positively or negatively affect their followers and their communities. A servant-leader takes responsibility for their actions and that of their followers to ensure the care and survival, the stewardship of their followers, the organizations, and their communities., Servant-leadership demands a commitment to the growth of people and communities. The servant-leader is never satisfied with the status quo and is always working to make people, communities, and themselves better.

Download or read book The World s Most Powerful Leadership Principle written by James C. Hunter and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To lead is not to be “the boss,” the “head honcho,” or “the brass.” To lead is to serve. Although serving may imply weakness to some, conjuring up a picture of the CEO waiting on the workforce hand and foot, servant leadership is actually a robust, revolutionary idea that can have significant impact on an organization’s performance. Jim Hunter champions this hard/soft approach to leadership, which turns bosses and managers into coaches and mentors. By “hard,” Hunter means that servant leaders can be hard-nosed, even autocratic, when it comes to the basics of running the business: determining the mission (where the company is headed) and values (what the rules are that govern the journey) and setting standards and accountability. Servant leaders don’t commission a poll or take a vote when it comes to these critical fundamentals. After all, that’s what a leader’s job is, and people look to the leader to set the course and establish standards. But once that direction is provided, servant leaders turn the organizational structure upside down. They focus on giving employees everything they need to win, be it resources, time, guidance, or inspiration. Servant leaders know that providing for people and engaging hearts and minds foster a workforce that understands the benefits of striving for the greater good. The emphasis is on building authority, not power; on exerting influence, not intimidation. While many believe that servant leadership is a wonderful, inspiring idea, what’s been missing is the how-to, the specifics of implementation. Jim Hunter shows how to do the right thing for the people you lead. A servant leader or a self-serving leader: Which one are you? With Jim Hunter’s guidance, everyone has the potential to develop into a leader with character who leads with authority.
