The Servant Leadership Training Course: Achieving Success Through Character, Bravery, & Influence [With 12-Page Study Guide] [Audiobook] [Audio CD]

James C. Hunter takes ancient concepts and presents them in a modern format to encourage change in the workplace. All aspects of leaderships are addressed from the basics of good character to the finer elements of putting love and kindness into action.

What is it most people want to see in a leader?
What does it mean to serve as a leader?
What is the definition of character?
How can leaders inspire their workers to excellence?
What truly motivates employees?

The booklet with the CD set includes exercises:

Exercise 1 - A Leadership Skills Inventory
Exercise 2 - Leadership Skills Inventory - Self-Assessment
Exercise 3 - Leadership Skills Inventory Summary
Exercise 4 - Leadership Skills Inventory Summary...continued
Exercise 5 - Smart Action Plan

Through the exercises (which are discussed in detail on the CDs) you learn how to become a better leader through self-analysis. There are also ways to get feedback from your employees. A small business card with a summary of the presentation is also included for easy reference.

James C. Hunter has well-organized thoughts on leadership and an engaging teaching style. He can at times emphasize points by making you feel uncomfortable with a topic, therefore ensuring you won't forget his points. Hugging and spanking don't really mean hugging and spanking. In this case they mean encouraging or giving admonition. But with those types of labels, you are sure not to forget the main points.

I sat listening to the four CDs focusing on them completely the entire time, completely captivated by the wisdom side of the topic at hand. The main points on these CDs are truly secrets for success. The sparkling glints on the water in this presentation are truly diamonds.

~The Rebecca Review

This CD set was a great introduction to Servant Leadership. James Hunter speaks well, covers the topic of servant leadership in depth as well as in a way I could relate to and understand. In fact, I read his two books on Servant Leadership after listening to the CD's and preferred the CD's much more.

I found that, given the paradigm shift towards servant leadership (one which I had [and still have not] fully taken), that I needed a resource to help and guide me. I have read a lot on leadership, though the concept of Servant Leadership was new to me. As my first introduction, this was perfect; as they say, when the student is ready... the teacher will appear.

The concept of love as a verb, a "doing word" was key for me. You know you have love for those you serve when you are still in there working for a solution, doing what you can to make things and people better. Love is saying, "I won't give up on you," it is not so much an emotion as it is an action.

If you are wanting to understand Servant Leadership, this is a good place to start; if you are looking for depth in your understanding of Servant Leadership... you will find that here also.

Perhpas there is more to Servant Leadership than this CD set has offerred, however, because of the way it was introduced in the program I am willing to find out!

I liked this because it will remind you that you can work with integrity and get BIG results for both yourself and those who you employ. As an employer with multiple styles of leaders working for me I found this filled with practical skills and ideas we could use in tandem. It makes you think, it leads you on a path that you have already been on within yourself but working it into a business structure can feel difficult. This offered me more relief and more tools than I though it would. Works well as a teambuilding, the CD is WAY WAY WAY better than the book. Invest in the audio. I have listened to it over and over and each time I am in a different place within myself and I get new ideas.
