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 Greenleafs seminal essay "The Servant as Leader" that serves as an excellent introduction to the principles and essentials of servant-leadership.
