Servant Leadership is a values and
relationship-based approach to leadership that seeks to create a high trust
culture. It
involves identifying and meeting the legitimate needs (as opposed to wants)
of those entrusted to the care of the leader. It is a model for developing
leaders of character who lead with influence.

books have been translated into 13 languages and have sold over three and a
half million copies worldwide. Hunter’s books are the texts used in many MBA
and other higher education curriculum around the world. Each year Hunter speaks
