      Ken is a master at making complicated subjects simple. In this book, he deals with Servant Leadership, an idea that seems to be picking up steam after the Enrons, Lehman's, and the financial industry fiasco.Parables are a powerful way to convey a message.

      Good book. Teaches about the serve model. Had to read it for work.
    • 4/5
      Really nice, short book on leadership told in the form of a parable.
