58. What is Servant Leadership?
“The Servant as Leader”
by Robert K. Greenleaf
The Greenleaf Center for
Servant Leadership
59. What are Servant-Leaders?
“The servant-leader is servant
first. It begins with the natural
feeling that one wants to
serve, to serve first. Then
conscious choice brings one to
aspire to lead.”
60. Simply and plainly
defined‚ servant-leaders are
people who have followers. They
have earned recognition and
respect.
61. Once a fellow called needing a new
door, but couldn’t afford one at the
time. His wife had just undergone
drastic cancer surgery and was
undergoing radiation treatments,
and was unable to get her car out of
the garage. They installed a new
door and operator at no charge.
John & Bill Mathews – J. B. Mathews Co.
62. Servant-leaders are a teacher‚ a
source of information and
knowledge‚ and a standard
setter‚ more than a
giver of directions and
a disciplinarian.
63. “None of our achievements
would have been realized
without recruiting, training and
retaining really good people . . .
When one invests in their
employees it is something that
they see, they realize,
they can hold on to.”
Dan Apple – Apple Door Systems, Inc.
64. The Container Store (#1 on
Fortune’s Best Places to Work
For list in 2000 & 2001) train
each employee an average of
162 hours per year. Store
managers spend 50% of their
time on staff development.
65. “Our philosophy here is that
we try to give our people
the tools that they need,
the training they need,
the recognition they need.”
Russ Bookbinder – Executive V.P.
San Antonio Spurs
Reigning NBA Champions
66. Servant-leaders see things
through the eyes of their
followers. They put
themselves in others’ shoes
and help them make their
dreams come true.
67. “A good boss is compassionate.
Employees are human just like we
are. If the weather is unbearable
give your technicians some slack.
Don’t expect 100% performance
during sweltering heat or freezing
cold conditions.”
Jim Lett – A. B. E. Doors and Windows
68. Servant-leaders do not
say‚ “Get going.” Instead‚ they
say‚ “Let’s go!” and lead the
way. They do not walk behind
with a whip; they are out in
front with a banner.
69. A motivational sign at work:
The beatings will continue until
morale improves.
70. Servant-leaders assume that
their followers are working
with them. They consider
others as partners in the
work and see to it that
they share in the rewards.
They glorify the team spirit.
71.
72. “We don’t have people work
for us, but rather with us.”
Marlene Rinderle – Rinderle Door
73. “Consider every team member
having equal status. Is the
salesperson more important than
an installer? Is the president more
important than the receptionist? In
a business that is growing, every
position is of equal importance. . .
Greet every day with a smile, and
live by the “Golden Rule”.
Dewey Stewart – Midwest Garage Door Co.
74. “Treat everyone like you would
want to be treated.”
Bob Hammersley – Crawford Door Systems
75. Leaders are people builders.
They help those under them
to grow big because the
leader realizes that the more
big people an organization
has‚ the stronger it will be.
76. “If you want to be a leader, you
must be constantly producing
leaders . . . If you are growing
leaders in your business, you’re
going to lead the market …
you just are!”
Dan Apple – Apple Door Systems, Inc.
77. “It’s important to surround
yourself with others
who are leaders.”
John Mathews – J. B. Mathews Co.
78. Leaders do not hold people
down… they lift them up.
They reach out their hand to
help their followers
scale the peaks.
79. Leaders have faith in people.
They believe in them. They
have found that others rise to
their high expectations.
80. Leaders use their heart as
well as their head. After they
have looked at the facts with
their head‚ they let their heart
take a look‚ too.
81. “What makes Apple Door
Systems successful is that their
people care from the heart.
They care for their customers.
They care for each other. Life
teaches us that when one puts
others first, the result is most
always success for all.”
Chris Long – Nov/Dec 2002
82. Chris Long summarized his visit
to Price Overhead Door with one
word, “Caring”. The people of
Price Overhead Door Co.
joyfully care for their customers,
vendors, community
and each other.
83. “A smile is worth a lot when
people know you really care
about them.”
Keith Glover – Farmer Garage Door Co.
84. Bob Hammersley & John Zoller
Crawford Door Sales
Wilmington, North Carolina
85. People will forget
what you said . . .
People will forget
what you did . . . but
People will never forget how
you made them feel.
86. “People don’t care how much
you know until they know how
much you care”
John C. Maxwell
87. Leaders keep their eyes on high
goals. They are self-starters.
They create plans and set them
in motion. They are persons of
thought and persons of action —
both dreamers and doers.
88. “There is a great step
between knowing
what to do and doing it.
The great ones do it.”
Bill Winser – Winser Doors
89. “I have not failed. I’ve just found
10,000 ways that don’t work.”
Thomas Edison
90. Even if you’re on the right track,
you’ll get run over
if you just sit there.
91. Leaders are faced with many hard
decisions‚ including balancing
fairness to an individual with
fairness to the group. This
sometimes requires ‘weeding out’
those in the group who‚ over a
period of time‚ do not measure up
to the group needs of
dependability‚ productivity
and safety.
92. The world is full of willing people.
Some willing to work and
some willing to let them.
93. “Sacred cows make the best
burgers – deadwood –
a good company must chop
out the deadwood –
people that don’t produce.”
John Mathews – J. B. Mathews Co.
94. When Dan Apple went to work
for his father after getting out of
the Navy within the first six
months he fired all but two
employees. In his opinion, the
people his father had working for
him were just taking advantage
of his good nature. Dan began
building a team at that point.
95. Rick and Marlene Rinderle help
make their new employees
accountable to the team by
telling them “that their fellow
employees will ultimately
determine whether or not they
will remain on the team.”
96. “Give yourself a chance.
Council or get rid of
malcontents. You do not have a
chance if you are being
undermined by a few that will
never be happy doing anything.”
Bill Winser – Winser Doors
97. “Get rid of bad apples. . . One
negative individual who does not
share a company-wide
commitment at being the best
can cause serious harm to the
firm. When that happens,
sack the dude and keep all your
good employees.”
Todd Thomas – I.D.E.A.
98. Leaders have a sense of
humor. They are not stuffed
shirts. They can laugh at
themselves. They have a
humble spirit.
99. Blessed are they who can
laugh at themselves,
for they shall never cease
to be amused.
100. During their Executive Committee
meetings Bill purchased toy dart
guns and if someone in the group
became an “issue” they enjoyed a
“group shot”. The darts helped
relieve both tension and anger.
John said as a matter of fact, Bill
was late for the second meeting
and they all shot him.
J. B. Mathews Co. – John & Bill Mathews
101. Rick Rinderle of Rinderle Door Co.
of Big Bend, Wisconsin once used a
small remote control forklift in a
trade show booth and invited
visitors to run the little forklift
through the display door openings
and timed them. At the end of the
day the person with the best time
won the little forklift.

Dessert bake-off
Anything to do with food
105. Leaders can be led.
They are not interested in
having their own way‚
but in finding the best way.
They have an open mind.
106. Some minds are like
concrete, thoroughly mixed
up and permanently set.
107.
108. “Don’t assume you know all of
the answers. Ask your people for
their ideas and input. Give them
the glory and the rewards. Their
success is your success.
Celebrate their victories every
chance you get.”
Dan Apple – Apple Door Systems, Inc.
109. “Nothing ever gets accomplished
at our company unless it
is a team effort.”
Tripp Zumwalt – Zumwalt Corp.
110. “We run our business with the
understanding that more brains
are better than one brain.”
Russ Bookbinder – Executive V.P.
San Antonio Spurs
111. “It takes ten hands to put the ball
through the net.”
John Wooden, legendary
basketball coach at UCLA
112. Remember, the only fool who is
a bigger fool than the person
who thinks they know it all is the
person who argues with her.
113. Best Test of
Servant Leadership
Do those served grow as
persons? Do they, while
being served, become healthier,
wiser, freer,
more autonomous, more
likely themselves to
become servants?
114. “In my belief, servant-leadership is
anything than weak. In fact, it
takes a toughness and a strength
of character because you are, in
fact, making a commitment not just
to the bottom line financially but to
the bottom line when it
comes to people”
Larry Spears – CEO of the Greenleaf
Center for Servant Leadership
115. “Servant-leadership challenges
people to be brave and
courageous, and to bring ideas
like friendship and perhaps even
love to the work place.”
Larry Spears – CEO of the Greenleaf
Center for Servant Leadership

the overage.”
131. “If you or your staff damaged a
door, don’t call your supplier to
tell them it came in damaged,
admit that you damaged it.

trust and respect.”

139. The Marks We Leave
As time goes on and we reflect
On the things we’ve said and done;
The places we’ve been,
The people we’ve met
And we think of all the fun.
We realize the marks we leave in life
Aren’t made of stone or steel
But rather of the lives we’ve touched
And how we make folks feel.
140. For people are far more valuable
Than achievements great and high,
Than cars or planes or space shuttles
Or buildings reaching to the sky.
You and I can leave our mark in life
By doing all we can
To serve and praise and uplift
The lives of children, women and men.
