His ideas on shared responsibility have taken hold among many respected business scholars, including Margaret Wheatley, Stephen Covey, and Ken Blanchard. In Insights On Leadership: Service, Stewardship, Spirit, and Servant-Leadership, edited by Larry Spears, these and other prominent followers of Greenleaf's teachings offer thoughts on the way the strategies can be used to redefine work to better meet the needs of people and organizations in the new millennium.
