The Servant: A Simple Story About the True Essence of Leadership

With an introduction on using the principles of The Servant in your life and career, this book redefines what it means to be a leader. In this absorbing tale, you watch the timeless principles of servant leadership unfold through the story of John Daily, a businessman whose outwardly successful life is spiraling out of control. He is failing miserably in each of his leadership roles as boss, husband, father, and coach. To get his life back on track, he reluctantly attends a week-long leadership retreat at a remote Benedictine monastery. To John's surprise, the monk leading the seminar is a former business executive and Wall Street legend. Taking John under his wing, the monk guides him to a realization that is simple yet profound: The true foundation of leadership is not power, but authority, which is built upon relationships, love, service, and sacrifice. Along with John, you will learn that the principles in this book are neither new nor complex. They don't demand special talents; they are simply based on strengthening the bonds of respect, responsibility, and caring with the people around you. The Servant's message can be applied by anyone, anywhere—at home or at work.

La paradoja

¿Qué cualidades se necesitan para ser un buen jefe??Cómo se consiguen la autoridad y la credibilidad necesarias para dirigir de forma efectiva? Este libro responde a estas y a otras muchas preguntas, y nos recuerda los principios universales que nos permiten colaborar con los demás, ya sea en el trabajo o en elámbito familiar: -No hay autoridad sin respeto. -El respeto no se funda en la imposición ni en el miedo, sino en la integridad, la sinceridad y la empatía con el prójimo. -No podemos cambiar a nadie, sólo podemos cambiar nosotros mismos. -El trabajo lo hacen las personas, y no puede hacerse un buen trabajo sin cuidarlas relaciones humanas. Los principios del liderazgo son tan simples que se nos han olvidado por completo. Confundimos la autoridad con el poder y el respeto con el miedo, lo que lleva a unas relaciones tensas y recelosas entre jefes y subordinados, y a un triste resultado: cuando un equipo trabaja para contentar al jefe,?quién se ocupa realmente del trabajo? En esta nueva edición de La Paradoja, el autor nos acompa?a un prólogo en donde relata la experiencia que le ha traído eléxito de este libro y de su continuación: Las claves de la paradoja, y sintetiza las nuevas ense?anzas que ha permitido que en todo el mundo se hayan aplicado conéxitos sus principios de liderazgo
