description: TO BE A SERVANT-LEADER is an important guide for everyone who must lead―or who aspires to lead―in any type of organization or situation. Drawing on the servant-leadership principles of Robert Greenleaf, author Stephen Prosser read the Bible closely and discovered a treasure trove of insights into the characteristics of an effective leader―as examples of bad ones. TO BE A SERVANT-LEADER draws on biblical examples to identify the main characteristics and principles of leadership. The author groups these characteristics or principles under the following • the nature and qualities of servant-leadership; • the work of the servant-leader; • the appointment of servant-leaders and the question of succession; • servant-leadership and management; • servant-leadership and followers; • when leadership goes wrong. This practical and inspiring book skillfully brings these insights together in a way that sharpens their impact. Each sub-section ends with a set of questions for the reader to consider. The author concludes by outlining the business, inspirational, and moral reasons why he himself became an adherent of servant-leadership. †
