Practicing Servant-Leadership brings together a group of
exceptional thinkers who offer a compendium of thought on the topic
of bringing servant-leadership into the daily lives of leaders.
Each contributor focuses on his or her area of expertise, exploring
how servant-leadership works in the real world, using examples from
a variety of organizations such as businesses, nonprofits,
churches, schools, foundations, and leadership organizations.

* how the idealistic vision of the servant as leader works even
in the competitive world of business.
* encouraging leaders to begin by looking at what they themselves
want to become and then to bring this knowledge into their daily
leadership.
* how the principles of servant-leadership can enhance our
understanding and practice of philanthropy.
* examining the board chairperson’s especially vital role as a
servant- leader.
