SPEARS\u003c\/b\u003e is the Chief Executive Officer of The Robert K. Greenleaf Center, which was founded in 1969 and originally called the Center for Applied Ethics. The Center's mission is to carry the message of servant-leadership originated by Greenleaf, who was the Director of Management Research at AT\u0026amp;T, where he worked for thirty-eight years. Mr. Spears is also the editor of \u003ci\u003eInsights on Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eReflections on Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e (both from Wiley). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMICHELE LAWRENCE\u003c\/b\u003e has been with the Greenleaf Center since 1993, working in many programmatic capacities, including directing their annual international conference and editing their quarterly newsletter.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOCUS ON LEADERSHIP\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert K. Greenleaf first wrote about a new type of leader, the servant-leader, in 1970, but his idea remains a revolutionary approach to managing an organization. Servant-leadership stresses the importance and benefit leaders gain by serving the welfare of employees, customers, and communities. Traditional leadership modes that concentrate solely on the quest for profit or the attainment of goals at any cost are giving way to a holistic approach to work that promotes a sense of community and the sharing of power in decision-making. Servant-leadership is a long-term, transformational approach to life and work that has the potential for creating positive change throughout society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFocus on Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the importance of Greenleaf's ideas on management theory and their impact across the contemporary business landscape. It offers a selection of writing from some of the leading thinkers on servant-leadership and management culture, including Warren Bennis, Stephen Covey, Margaret Wheatley, and John Bogle. It also includes an excerpt from Greenleaf's seminal essay \"The Servant as Leader\" that serves as an excellent introduction to the principles and essentials of servant-leadership. Other highlights include essays on the ideal servant-leader, companies that have put the servant-leadership model to work in their own corporate structures, servant-leadership at work in educational and philanthropic institutions, and servant-leadership in the new economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays here fall into four categories that cover servant-leadership's relation to the individual, the workplace, the surrounding community, and the world as a whole. These essays present a fundamental understanding and the newest thinking on servant-leadership's ability to change lives in our communities and in communities around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those already familiar with servant-leadership, \u003ci\u003eFocus on Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e offers an opportunity to further explore Greenleaf's revolutionary ideas. For those just discovering servant-leadership, it serves as both a source of inspiration and a call for enlightenment and change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989224800485,"sku":"NP9780471411628","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471411628.jpg?v=1761783276","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/focus-on-leadership-isbn-9780471411628","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
