The Servant


Everyone who is a leader, is called to be or wants to be, check this out.
I just swallowed this book, it’s of those books that can change lives.
It is called The Servant and is a true story of a general manager that has everything in his life , beautiful woman, two kids, money for rest of his life but something’s wrong inside of him. By the advice of his wife and his pastor he went for a retreat to a Benedictine monastery where he finds out that the teacher of the leadership classes is an old monk who was one of the best businessmen in America before he went to a monastery.
I will leave the pleasure to read it by your self, I’m just throwing the bug, this book contains one of the best insights on servant leadership that I have heard.
