I really liked your reason for why this book is worth reading. In particular the point about a leader considering their leadership motives and the focus on servant leadership. I think when a leader considers their motivation to lead and uses servant leadership it is powerful because it may reduce selfish motives. When a leader balances their ego by focusing on serving the best interests of others and the organization then a leader has the potential to be successful and make a difference in those they lead.

This sounds interesting and insightful. Can I really be a leader in 30 days?

I like it more for leading oneself, books with this aspect are rare. I would like to learn more. Enchanting review!

Thanks for the comment. It is true that such books are rare hence getting one that deals on servant leadership is like coming across a precious jewel.

Thanks for the feedback. Leadership is a process in itself and there is not an endpoint or destination but this book can help you a lot especially in the formative stage of leadership.

It sounds like it is just offering some useful tools for those who don't have training available. I imagine it would be really useful in that regard. Thank you for a really great introduction to this book.

Sure, it is more of guidance than a promise of becoming a leader in 30 days. I had the same thought too before I read it. Thanks for the reply.
