Gallup recently reported that only 15 of employees in the United States are truly engaged in their workplace Yet nearly 70 of employees say they would work harder if they felt more appreciated Over 90 of employees surveyed believed their leadership lacked communication skills to lead Leaders can do better Thats why the authors sought to go beyond the laudable sentiments of the servant leadership movement by envisioning creating and testing a new leadership platform based on a set of guiding beliefs and actual daytoday practices
