New Summary Available for Serve to Be Great

Serve to Be Great by Matt Tenney teaches that great leaders are those who know how to serve. When business leaders shift from a mindset of service toward self to service toward others, they will see significant advantages both personally and professionally. This shift is achievable by any leader who wants to learn a new way of thought about the workplace. Real leadership happens when people move away from self-centeredness toward other-centeredness.

A simple focus on ways to help others will eventually result in a regular attitude of servant leadership and greater profits.
