Notes #6 Servant Leadership Books from the Greenleaf Center

For those studying and learning servant leadership, checking out the Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership is a good idea. One of the resources they have is the various works on servant leadership they offer for sale in their shop, some of which they have published.

The Center has been publishing several small books on servant leadership in the last several of years. These are all short, about 80-100 pages, and all are very good. This posting will look at the first five ones.  They are "Stand Tall", "Servant-Institutions in Business", "The Case for Servant Leadership", “The Hine Bibliography”, and “Start with Humility.”
