More light on the paradox: Part two of a three-part series on the redeeming characteristics of the servant leadership approach

[HEADNOTE]

PART TWO OF A THREE-PART SERIES ON THE REDEEMING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SERVANT LEADERSHIP APPROACH

The paradoxical notion of "leader as servant" by US essayist and consultant Robert Greenleaf is based on the belief that service to others is essential to human nature.
