We are all under new pressure to    produce more for less money—and    in less time. Ultimately, this cannot be    done unless bosses are able to—in service    of their organization—bring out the best    in their people.    That is the essence of servant-leadership,    the management philosophy originally    outlined by organizational expert Robert    Greenleaf in the 1970s. It’s a philosophy    whose time has truly come.    The mission statement of TDIndustries,    a regular on Fortune’s list of 100 Best    Companies to Work for in America,    prioritizes “intense ‘people development’    efforts, including    substantial training budgets.”    When an error at Motorola caused    $100,000 in damages to equipment, no    heads rolled; instead, the responsible    employee was encouraged to develop    a system based on what he’d learned;    all told, Motorola saved more than a    million dollars.    When Sematech, the International    Institute for Semiconductors, joined    with competitors like Intel, AMD,    Siemens, and Sony, the result was    smarter and better business for all, via    shared innovation and communication.        For such progressive companies, mere    institutional power is no longer enough.    Their secret is the empowerment that    servant-leadership provides, and it can    make the difference between the success    of your organization and its downfall.        With Servant-Leadership Across Cultures,    you’ll come to understand how and    why doing the right thing pays off for    everyone—not just for your business partners,    but for the world.
