"Reading The Journey To Competitive Advantage
Through Servant Leadership is like listening to the author speak. Anyone
who knows Bill Flint treasures time with him and knows that it was time well
spent. Some books are read and shelved,
while others are read, reread and loaned to others. This is the latter. Some
books are outdated within months of their release…born of the wisdom of
humanity, while others have a timeless quality born from the heart of God. This is the latter. It offers truths that
saturate the heart and life of Bill Flint…truths that have guided great men and
women for thousands of years. Profitable for teaching, correcting and training
there is fodder for staff meetings, newsletters and training seminars on every
page. If a reader is looking for platitudes and/or original theoretical
possibilities look elsewhere. This is a hands on, get the job done and done
right guide for blue collar management. It will feed the best parts of you."
