Review:

"For today's human resource professionals the questions we ask have become much deeper with a focus on ethics, morality, and even virtues. This book answers those questions as Roberts unpacks the servant leadership principles needed to operate in a world that is in great need. The idea of Servant Leadership Human Resource Management is ground breaking and a must-read for anyone who is entering into the field or already fully engaged. These principles can change the way you work and the way you live life." - Kathleen Patterson, Professor and Director, Doctorate of Strategic Leadership Program, School of Business & Leadership, Regent University, USA
"A much-needed integration of character and spirituality into the practice and theory of human resource management. Servant Leader Human Resource Management provides readers with a rich and nuanced analysis of the role of moral HR policy and practice in promoting mission achievement and providing employees with a dignified and engaging work environment." - Admiral Vernon Clark, Retired Chief of Naval Operations, US Navy; Distinguished Professor, Regent University, USA
"It's common sense, but still uncommon practice, for professionals to lead by serving. Roberts offers in this book not just another anecdote-laden call to adopt this leadership style, but refreshingly, the academic and theological underpinnings that may finally encourage professionals to make it a reality." - Michael Zigarelli, Professor, Messiah College, USA
"Roberts brings soul to the workplace. If you are interested in transcending the mundane world of work that lacks balance and wholeness, this book is for you. Filled with practical application, scholarly depth, and a return to the virtues that sustain human community, Servant Leader Human Resource Management provides a profound base for the kind of leadership dynamic that produces real world results. Utilizing a Christian perspective, Roberts explores the richness of servant leadership across a vast global landscape and returns with treasures for those willing to be transformed." - Shann Ray Ferch, Professor, Gonzaga University, USA; Editor, The International Journal of Servant-Leadership
""Servant Leader Human Resource Management" is an important work that breaks new ground in the area of servant-leadership and human resources literature. Roberts offers an original look at how servant-leadership can be brought into a number of HR practices. Three cheers for this most helpful book." - Larry C. Spears, President, The Spears Center; co-author, Insights on Leadership and The Spirit of Servant-Leadership
