Foreword

— Ken Blanchard, co-author of The New One Minute Manager® and Servant Leadership in Action

Service, sacrifice, and love are perhaps not the words you would expect to be used to describe a singular approach to living and leading others, but they belong together. Ken Jennings and Mike McCormick elegantly stitch these words to each other in their new book, House on Fire.

 

My leadership research and life experience have taught me that servant leadership is the best way to lead—because leaders who serve first and lead second achieve both great relationships and great results. Servant leadership has become a movement not only in this country but also around the world. House on Fire will show you practical servant leader actions you can take to become a better leader as well as the heart reasons behind those actions.

 

Ken and Mike have written a book you won’t be able to put down. It’s an engaging and exciting story—a fast-paced adventure about a young woman on a quest. 

Like every quest, this journey contains a worthwhile prize, unpredictable danger, and the opportunity to learn important truths. I think you’ll enjoy each of these elements—and maybe encounter some surprises along the way.

 

As you read House on Fire, you’ll see a practical servant leadership model woven throughout the book. And as you finish, you’ll find how to get advice to lead differently at work and in the community. Who knew you could enjoy a book and learn so much at the same time!

 

I believe House on Fire will light a flame inside you to serve, lead, and commit to pursuing the Ultimate Servant Leader in the company of others. This is a book you’ll want to share with your friends as you learn together and grow in community. At the end of the story, the call to action by Rev. Lee Scott will help you think about how you can connect to the servant leadership movement in which Ken, Mike, and I all play a part.

 

Enjoy the story. Join the movement!
