“Servant Leadership” is one of those buzzwords we hear all the time in project management—especially in Agile circles. But how many actually understand it… let alone practice it?

That’s why I picked up Servant Leadership Roadmap by Cara Bramlett.

What stood out?

Cara doesn’t just give you the usual management jargon. She brings a fresh perspective from the medical field and walks you through 12 core competencies that any leader can develop—from empathy and humility to persuasion and foresight.

And get this… it’s only slightly over 100 pages.

I finished it over a coffee and a bagel, highlighter in one hand, ideas flowing the whole time.
