Servant Leadership
Servant Leadership: A Journey Into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness — 25th Anniversary Edition brings Robert K. Greenleaf’s groundbreaking leadership philosophy to a new generation of readers. First published 25 years earlier, these essays introduced the now‑influential concept of servant leadership — the idea that true leaders serve first, lead second, and build organizations rooted in ethics, trust, and human growth.
This anniversary edition, published by Paulist Press, compiles Greenleaf’s prophetic essays on leadership in business, education, churches, foundations, and public institutions. The book emphasizes moral authority over positional power and outlines how leaders can help those they serve become “healthier, wiser, freer, and more autonomous.” It also highlights collaboration, listening, empowerment, and long‑term organizational transformation — principles that remain deeply relevant in what VISA founder Dee Hock called an “era of massive institutional failure.”
This hardcover volume includes contributions such as a foreword by Stephen R. Covey and an afterword by Peter M. Senge, reinforcing its status as a foundational text for modern leadership studies.
Perfect for leaders, educators, managers, nonprofit directors, and anyone seeking a values‑driven approach to influence and organizational health.
