Servant Leader by Ken Blanchard, Phil Hodges

From Barnes & Noble

"Servant leader" sounds like an oxymoron, but One Minute Manager savant Ken Blanchard believes that this phrase holds the key to effective leadership. Insisting that effective leadership begins on the inside, Blanchard urges would-be leaders to use the model of Jesus. "Are you," he asks, "a servant leader or a self-serving leader?" In succinct, memorable chapters, Blanchard challenges readers to lead for a purpose higher than financial success or corporate position.
