Robert K. Greenleaf was a pioneer in the field of servant leadership.

He spent his first career at AT&T in management research and development before transitioning to teaching and consulting.

Greenleaf's seminal essay, "The Servant as Leader," published in 1970, introduced the concept of servant-leadership and continues to influence management experts and institutional leaders today.
