3. value on-going learning
4. have a relentless focus on customer results
5. have energizing systems and structures that make it isasy for your staff to get things done

Great ideas for leadership and great research. Too much religion used in the ideas.

Practical and increadibly relevant for anyone that wants to fully embrace servant leadership. I especially appreciated the chapters on on building trust through sharing your leadership point of view and the role that leadership plays in creating employee passion. A second reading may be necessary to take away all the concepts. Highly recommended.
This is an excellent book. The rules are simple and I believe that if you learn all tools in this book you will become a top 10% leader. The only question is that the one minute manager for example is maybe a bit outdated since it is based on a hierarchical model.
Excellent read with tons of information. However, some of the information is restated from previous books. The rehash of other books was a bit of bore but this would be a great read for someone new to leadership position and/or Ken Blanchard.
Normally I'm a big fan of Blanchard but this one was tough to get through, slow, not as humorous or insightful
I really like the book. It done a good job of looking as leadership as an act of service. I will read it again.
I purchased this to include in a research paper I'm doing. Blanchard is a well-respected and often quoted guru of leadership. It's been a great refresher of my graduate studies, and has provided information to help me be more successful in my current job and in my planned future jobs.
Just started reading yesterday and can already say without a doubt that this book will be changing my style, delivery, and motivation in everyday situation.
Thanks Ken Blanchard for continuing to produce solid material!
