Servant Leadership Works: Ethical, Engaging, and Effective - Paperback

by Dennis Ondrejka (Author), Thomas Thibodeau (Author)

This inspiring guide re-imagines leadership as an act of service rooted in empathy, humility, and purpose. Blending academic insight, personal stories, and practical tools, Servant Leadership equips readers to lead with heart and integrity-whether in the classroom, the boardroom, or everyday life. Drawing on timeless spiritual wisdom and modern research, Thibodeau and Ondrejka show how leading by serving can transform individuals, teams, and entire organizations. This is leadership as it was meant to be: good work, sacred work, our work.

"Acceptance of the person requires a tolerance of imperfection. Anybody could lead perfect people----if there were any. " - Robert Greenleaf

"To lead people, walk behind them." - Lao Tzu- 600 BCE

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.... Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus...who made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." - St Paul (144 CE)
