94946 April 26, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — Larry C. Spears, a 1978 graduate of DePauw University, is co-editor of The Spirit of Servant-Leadership. In the book, published by Paulist Press, Spears and Shann Ray Ferch "present an elegant and powerful approach to the nature of the leader-follower dynamic, with a specific focus on many of the most radical, life-affirming, and transformative facets of the servant-leader," according to a synopsis.

"The staunchest of all advocates of servant-leadership has done it again," states Barbara Kellerman, James MacGregor Burns Lecturer in Leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School. "Larry Spears, this time in collaboration with Shann Ferch, has edited a collection of writings that drills deep down into the seminal work of Robert Greenleaf. The theories that underlie servant-leadership and the practices that transform them into collective collaborations are all explored here with integrity, intelligence, and yes, with inspiration."
