From INSIGHTS ON LEADERSHIP . . .
Robert K. Greenleaf from "The Servant as Leader"
"The servant-leader is servant first. Becoming a servant-leaderbegins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to servefirst. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. . . .The best test is this: Do those served grow as persons? Do they,while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, moreautonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?"
Stephen R. Covey from "Servant-Leadership from the InsideOut"
"You may be able to buy someone's hand and back, but you cannot buytheir heart, mind, and spirit. And in the competitive reality oftoday's global marketplace, it will be only those organizationswhose people not only willingly volunteer their tremendous creativetalent, commitment, and loyalty, but whose organizations aligntheir structures, systems, and management style to support theempowerment of their people that will survive and thrive as marketleaders."
Ken Blanchard from "Servant-Leadership Revisited"
"With the traditional pyramid, the boss is always responsible andthe staff are supposed to be responsive to the boss. When you turnthe pyramid upside down, those roles get reversed. Your peoplebecome responsible and the job of management is to be responsive totheir people. That creates a very different environment forimplementation. If you work for your people, then what is thepurpose of being a manager? To help them accomplish their goals.Your job is to help them win."
