Reviews & Statements

Business scholars survey research literature and present their own results regarding the concept, principles, and practices of non-hierarchical leadership. Among the topics are a qualitative study of the controlled discipline of servant leaders, servant leadership and school crisis management, the role of prevention and promotion oriented approaches to leadership, and the historical derivation of servant leadership and the untold story of the influence of Quakerism on Greenleaf's teachings. Many interviews with business leaders and case studies of particular companies are also included.
