Seven Pillars of Servant Leadership trains readers in how to evolve
and implement the competencies and behaviors of servant leadership
using pointed questions, stories, exercises, case studies, and
research-based activities that the authors have field-tested with
numerous leaders in the public and private sectors. Seven Pillars
goes beyond developing individual skills, however. Each chapter
includes stories of how servant-led companies have integrated
specific servant leadership principles and skills into corporate
cultures and policies. The final chapter offers updated strategies
and examples so that readers can begin implementing servant
leadership in their own organizations. The book includes questions
that are ideal for small groups, that reflect the findings of
twenty years of research on the changes of human behavior that take
place in individuals and organizations.
In nature, biological organisms produce mineralized tissues such as
bone, teeth, diatoms, and shells. Biomineralization is the
sophisticated process of production of these inorganic minerals by
living organisms. Construction of organic-inorganic hybrid
materials with controlled mineralization analogous to those
produced by nature has recently received much attention because it
can aid in understanding the mechanisms of the biomineralization
process and development of biomimetic materials processing. The
biomineralization ? processes use aqueous solutions at temperatures
below 100 C and no toxic intermediates are produced in these
systems. From a serious global en- ronmental problem point of view,
the development of processes inspired by biomineralization would
offer valuable insights into material science and en- neering to
reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. One of the most
challenging scienti?c problems is to gain greater insight into the
mol- ular interactions occurring at the interface between the
inorganic mineral and the macromolecular organic matrix. Model
systems are often regarded as a straight-forward experimental
approach toward biomimetic crystallization. Hierarchical
architectures consisting of small building blocks of inorganic cr-
tals are often found in biominerals. Studies of nanocrystal
self-organization in solution systems would also be helpful for
understanding biomineralization. In these volumes, we focus on
construction of organic-inorganic hybrid - terials with controlled
mineralization inspired by natural biomineralization. In the?rst

Uplift Your Heart and Increase Your Effectiveness
Delve into the personal writings of the grandfather of the modern
empowerment movement in business leadership. In this collection of
previously unpublished works, eminent writer, consultant, and
lecturer Robert Greenleaf shares his personal and professional
philosophy, which postulates that true leaders are those who lead
by serving others. Spanning a time frame of fifty years, these
essays and lectures touch on such key issues as power, ethics,
management, organizations, and servanthood. And they offer the
reader a wealth of practical suggestions and useful information
garnered through the course of a remarkable career.
