In Honor of Amy L. Bush
“I selected “The Serving Leader” book because it is a testament to what I believe is the foundation of informal and formal leadership . . . Servant leadership in our personal, professional, and community endeavors. I believe through leading with heart and conviction to do what is right that we accomplish great works together. The willingness to put the developmental needs of others first and then share in the collective power and knowledge achieved leads to accomplishments beyond our wildest expectations. This book represents what I believe . . . flipping of the leadership pyramid on its pinnacle elucidates the role of a true leader. A true leader surrounds themselves with talented individuals, breaking down barriers so those around them can realize their true power while bringing greatness to an organization.”
