The Servant Leader

This isn’t really on topic for web development but I have to mention it…and it’s been a while since my last post. I borrowed a pretty amazing book from the manager of the local Starbuck’s. It’s called The Servant Leader by James Autry. I don’t know if it’s required reading for their managers and assistants or not,but it’s good. I’ve read almost the entire book in a few hours over the last few days. This reaffirms my ideas that one of a manager’s main roles is to act as a resource for his or her employees. By fostering a collaborative environment and enabling the employee to succeed,the servant leader creates a loyal productive employee who directly contributes to the company. While targeted directly at managers,implementing the ideals discussed in this book can probably make non-managers better employees and coworkers. This book definitely makes my required reading list.
