Available

The Sewing Leader uses a parable to outline the basics of servant leadership, yet all of the book's characters are based on real people, the organizations depicted are based on real organizations and the results they achieved are what really happened. Ken Jennings and John Stahl-Wert use an engaging and 'tuning story about an estranged son, his thing father, and a remarkable group of innovative leaders in business, volunteer organizations, and civic groups to illustrate five pragmatic principles of servant leadership. On one level The Serving Leader is the most practical guide avail-able to implementing servant leadership; on a deeper level, it is a book about the personal journey of growth that real leadership requires.
