Book Overview
"Focus on Leadership" ist eine Sammlung inspirierender Essays zum Thema Servant-Leadership im erwerbswirtschaftlich und nicht erwerbswirtschaftlich tätigen Unternehmensumfeld. Der Band diskutiert ausführlich, wie das Konzept der Servant-Leadership sich immer mehr an die Spitze des Führungsdenkens setzt. Ein Servant-Leader (Diener-Führungsperson) will anderen helfen, sie unterstützen und motivieren. Seine eigene Motivation schöpft er aus der Förderung seiner Mitarbeiter. Mit einem Vorwort von Ken Blanchard und Beiträgen berühmter Experten auf diesem Gebiet, wie z.B. von Max DePree, Stephen Covey, Margaret Wheatley, John Bogle und Warren Bennis. Ausführlich erörtert werden die einflussreichen und frischen Ideen, die aus der Servant-Leadership erwachsen sind, darunter das Konzept der Führung ohne Hierarchie, der Organisation im Wandel und der geteilten Verantwortung in einer globalen Umgebung.

Servant-Leadership
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Robert Greenleaf defined servant-leadership. Focus on Leadership, published by the Grealeaf Center, builds on the concepts Greenleaf established. The book is divided into four sections and each section explores a different concept of servant-leadership: individual, workplace, community and world. Servant-leadership is not just serving those one leads, it arises from a heart of service and choice to lead, and is different from management. The book provides an excellent foundation for servant-leadership, and one cannot help evaluating his or her own leadership style while reading.

It's difficult to keep up with the new business management theories that come up, so I tend to shy away from most of them. Of course, if Peter Drucker writes something I'm quick to pounce on it. That being said, it was the status of the contributors themselves that lured me in to this great overview and analysis of servant-leadership. Stephen R. Covey and Ken Blanchard ("One-Minute Manager", "Who Moved My Cheese") offer great insight into a concept that actually has been around since the 1970's! Employee welfare is not to be undermined! If Stephen Covey already knows this, shouldn't we all get the clue? Recommended!
