Using Servant Leadership

ANGELO J. LETIZIA is an assistant professor of graduate education at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. He is the author of several books, including Democracy and Social Justice Education in the Information Age.

“Professor Angelo J. Letizia finds in the idea of servant leadership a mystery of love that is of great practical value for institutions of higher education. He shows that by putting the growth and development of students before the progress of these institutions, this especially human form of leadership can make colleges and universities more responsive to the human needs of society. It is a book of hope for us all.”- Lloyd Sandelands (author of Being at Work and Thinking About Social Life) “Dr. Letizia’s book is a must read for university leaders and administrators who wish to understand and apply servant leadership concepts in an academic context. Using Servant Leadership accurately presents what we know about servant leadership and frames the application across university departments.”- Bruce E. Winston, PhD (professor of Business and Leadership, Regent University) "When Power Plays Fail, You Can Lead by Example" by Peter Monaghan feature on Using Servant Leadership and Angelo J. Letizia (Chronicle of Higher Education)
