About this book
Providing a deeper understanding of leadership, followership theory, and the follower as servant leader, this book provides employee and follower perspectives of servant leadership in the workplace. The collection brings together both empirical and conceptual research from around the globe to illustrate how the leader is seen through the lens of the follower. Topics discussed include organizational performance, empowerment, competency models, diversity in the workplace, and social roles and stereotypes. With contributions from a range of skilled authors, Servant Leadership and Followership not only provides an overview of servant leadership, but also offers insightful ways for organizations to adapt and progress in line with the shifting moral demands of today’s workplace.
Reviews
“In Servant Leadership and Followership: Examining the Impact on Workplace Behavior, Dr. Crystal Davis, the editor, looks at the intersection of service and leadership, two relatively new fieldsthat will benefit greatly from this work. Davis and her contributors explore leadership through the unique lens of the follower, filling a significant gap in the literature. Each chapter is relevant and necessary. The book has a scholarly and accessible tone and will benefit those interested in being of service, leadership, spirituality and organizational psychology, among other areas. It is a strong addition to any personal and professional library.” (Rev. David Goldberg, Ph.D.)
