By Robert P. NeuschelThe author learned early in his military career the importance of serving the troops first so that you may command them better. This philosophy is at the heart of The Servant Leader. He proved that enabling people at all levels to grow as leaders can only benefit them and the organizations to which they belong. Neuschel adopted and tailored this philosophy throughout his subsequent long corporate and academic careers. In the past several decades he became concerned about the need to build enduring organizations based on ethical values. In this book he forcefully outlines how leaders must take personal responsibility for all their decisions and actions.
