Over a third of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for” adhere to a principle called “servant leadership.” James C. Hunter’s runaway best seller The Servant (Crown Business, 1998) introduced over a million readers around the world to this philosophy of leading through courage, compassion, and character. Now with The Servant Leadership Training Course, this acclaimed author teaches listeners immediate, practical techniques for applying the revolutionary principles of servant leadership to their working lives. Drawing from the sold-out seminars he has presented all over the world, Hunter teaches listeners about:
The role of character: how right action builds inner strength and inspires others to grow
How major corporations have turned servant leadership into increased morale, productivity, and profit—and what it means for your business
Learning to use influence instead of intimidation to achieve your goals, and much more
In the business world, the greatest leaders emerging today are the ones who have learned how to serve their employees, not command them.

James Hunter is enthusiastic in his delivery and is a true believer of his message. The course begins with the concept of "servant leadership" and gives examples and reasons for leading in the true spirit of character, bravery, and influence. Hunter traces the movement back to Jesus Christ and shows how He, without power or money, came to lead the largest flock on earth. Using the same techniques as Jesus, Hunter contends, is the path to being a great leader. Although a bit repetitious and peppered with quotes from famous people rather than solid advice, this is an inspiring work for anyone looking for new direction. D.L.M.
