Stewardship: Choosing Service Over Self Interest

Peter Blocks classic book, The Empowered Manager, began the empowerment movement in thousands of businesses, public agencies, schools, and nonprofit organisations. Here Block takes the next step beyond empowerment in his revolutionary book, Stewardship. Organisations that practice stewardship, Block explains, will succeed in their marketplace by choosing service over self-interest at every point and by a far reaching redistribution of power, privilege, and wealth. Individuals who see themselves as stewards will hold themselves accountable to those over whom they exercise power while surrendering the need to control and take care of others.
