"I found Servant Leadership in Action to be an enjoyable
collection of essays that kept me interested in the subject of
servant leadership regardless of where I was in the book. Blanchard
and Broadwell did a nice job setting up the book’s structure and
dividing the essays into six parts/sections, starting with
describing the basic aspects of servant leadership and ending with
showing the readers how servant leadership can dramatically impact
both results and human satisfaction in organizations. The essays
are interesting and varied enough that you can skip around, reading
what interests you, and still learn about servant leadership. If
you like reading about servant leadership and do not mind a
sprinkle of religious stories, then I think you will really enjoy
this book." -Steve Nguyen, Ph.D. Leadership + Talent
Development Advisor, Workplace Psychology
"Renowned expert Ken Blanchard with Renee Broadwell have assembled
the insights of dozens of successful leaders in their new
book Servant Leadership In Action. I doubt you will find any
book or course on leadership that delivers a more on-target
message of the essential element critical to being
a truly great leader. Get a copy. Read it. Be
it.” — Miami Herald
"Servant Leadership In Action is a comprehensive and inspiring
book presented as a servant leadership primer, action plan and
how-to guide, then concludes with proof of effectiveness
and inspiration to go forward. The wide-ranging yet
related topics covered in Servant Leadership In Action is
part of what makes the book so valuable. I am sure it will
quickly become a must-have resource for leaders, both emerging
and established.” — Being Fully Present
"Today brings the release of the new definitive book on
servant leadership. A curated collection of
incredibly insightful and motivational perspectives on servant
leadership via essays by 44 servant leaders. Edited
by Ken Blanchard and Renee Broadwell, Servant
Leadership in Action, includes the personal stories from some
of the most well-respected authorities on
leadership.” — Eric Jacobson on Leadership and
Management
"Servant Leadership in Action came to me at just the right
time. I found it to be a great, inspiring read. I found it
providing me with exposure to the minds of many of my favorite
leaders. Perhaps more importantly, though, it exposes readers to
different voices they would not have otherwise known. I have
no doubt many (if not all) the contributions are immediately
applicable to you and your career no matter your industry and
role.” — 1Glories
