BOOK REVIEW – ‘Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness’

By Dr. Rocky Wallace

When Robert Greenleaf introduced the term servant-leadership to his colleagues at AT&T and later at Ivy League schools in the 1970s, perhaps he had no idea he was creating what would become a world-wide study and teaching of a lifestyle, and an emerging research model.

And when he published his seminal work in 1977 (Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness), he launched what has become a movement in the organizational world. This book of essays was published again as a Silver Anniversary Edition in 2002, and today can be found on bookshelves of leaders from all walks of life worldwide.

How to Get Unstuck When Facing a Writing Challenge

By Angelica Ribeiro, PhD

Some years ago, while I was checking my emails, I came across a message from my advisor. As soon as I opened it, I wished I hadn’t. The email contained feedback on my dissertation proposal, and she asked me to rewrite the entire document. Since I only had a few weeks to complete it, I felt overwhelmed, stuck, and lost.
