A call for reform in commercial management, full of important ideas regarding leadership dynamics in any organization, this book emphasizes a model of participatory leadership that is “democratic” in spirit, without requiring the stereotypical trappings of democratic governance or exposure to their perils.

"Peter Block is the author of eight books [including 'The Abundant Community, '] and a partner in the training company Designed Learning. He is the recipient of many awards--including the Organization Development Network's Lifetime Achievement Award and ASTD's Award for Distinguished Contribution to Workplace Learning--and was named to 'Training Magazines's HRD Hall of Fame." Source: The book's back cover. Larry C. Spears, coauthor of 'Insights on Leadership', 'The Spirit of Servant-Leadership', and 'Fortuitous Encounters', said of the work, "Like Robert Greenleaf before him, Peter Block's voice is that of a contemporary prophet. This revised edition of 'Stewardship' is one of the best books ever written. It serves as a powerful source of hope and encouragement for servant-leaders everywhere." The reviewer for 'Library Journal' wrote, "Original and profound. . .Block transcends all extant leadership literature."
