The world is in desperate need of a different leadership role model. We all have seen the negative impact of self-serving leaders. A major goal of Ken Blanchard is to prove that servant leadership has application in both secular and spiritual leadership in every kind of organization, including businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and places of worship.
Two thousand years ago, servant leadership was central to the philosophy of Jesus, who exemplified the fully committed and effective servant leader. Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela are well-known modern examples of leaders who have exemplified this philosophy.
As John C. Maxwell observes, “When you become a leader, you give up your right to think of yourself first. Servant leadership is about always putting others first.”
Leaders throughout the world will be people who, in Robert K. Greenleaf’s terms, “serve first and lead second.”
