Links for Friday, January 26, 2007

Here are some links that I enjoyed and think you will as well:

• Humility: The core of Servant Leadership. Harry Joiner is a marketing recruiter who gets a lot of calls from companies wanting to hire a servant-leader. Harry really seems to "get" Servant Leadership and comments that many talk the talk but few are able to walk the walk. Couldn't agree more! Well worth the read!
• Ken Blanchard on Servant Leadership. Ken recently spoke to a crowd at Baylor University about Servant Leadership. There is an mp3 available of the speech! (I wish more universities had the foresight to post mp3s and/or video of their speakers - but that is a post for another day.)
• Are blogs really saying anything? In this post the author, Eric Brown, looks at my comments from this post and asks the question of himself and other bloggers: Am I really saying anything of value?
• Just Working Better. This site from the Netherlands is interested not only in Servant Leadership, but how to create a leadership culture within organizations. At least that's as much as I can tell from my limited command of the Dutch language! :-)
• Put people over profits. A press release that is rather old but seems to understand at least a little bit about Servant Leadership and its role within an organization.
