Helping professionals of all types are everyday heroes who routinely and selflessly improve the lives of others, but they often don’t realize that they also form a valuable pool of future leaders—that their specific characteristics, distinct aptitudes, and servant leader mindset not only prepare them, but already uncommonly equip them, to rise to the highest tiers of their organization’s leadership structure.

Sharing lessons learned over a 30-year career and featuring plentiful anecdotes to illustrate the pointed discussions and central themes, this book aims to inspire helpers to exercise the power they already possess and encourage them to travel a fruitful and fulfilling path to professional development and organizational leadership.
