“None of us is where we are today because we got here on our own. We have all had those around us help sometimes in unexpected, small but significant ways, while others may have had a larger imprint. Those who read [this] book will be more grateful for those who have positively shaped them in the past and be more purposeful in how they make a positive difference in the lives of those around them. God knows, the world needs more of that. This book is a must-read for all of us.”

“Servant leadership feels massively important at this moment in history. But my understanding of what it means to be a ‘servant leader’ sometimes feels inspiringly simple, and other times, confusing and amorphous. The gift of this book is that it provides intimate new perspectives on the reality of servant leadership from real people working to embody it in their communities. The best way to learn a skill is to see it performed. This book does that.”
—George McGraw, Founder and CEO, DigDeep, and Los Angeles Water and Power Commissioner
“An inspiring compendium of stories of leaders who are self-reflective, humble, service-minded, and committed to compromise, solution-making, and nurturing the next generation through what Wilson calls ‘cultivating a servant heart.’ This expansive meditation on the concept of leadership speaks to the needs of our moment. It combines Wilson’s own wisdom with that of the visionary leaders she profiles and offers the reader ideas for reflection and action to create their own servant leadership journeys."

A must-read for leaders at every stage of their journey.”
