Revised and expanded: this classic guide to business leadership presents an original and profound new view on how to run an organization (Library Journal).
Despite all the evidence calling for change, most organizations still rely on patriarchy and control as their core form of governance. The result is that they stifle initiative and spirit and alienate people from their work. In Stewardship, Peter Block calls for a dramatic shift in how we distribute power, privilege, and the control of money. Stewardship, he writes, is the willingness to be accountable for the well-being of the larger organization by operating in service, rather than in control, of those around us.
Block has revised and updated the book throughout, including a new introduction addressing what has changed and what hasn't in the twenty years since the book was published. It also includes a new chapter on applying stewardship to the common good of the wider community. Speaking in practical terms about how stewardship transforms every function and department for the better, Block also offers tactical advice on gearing up to implement these reforms.

An original and profound new view on how to run organizations Block transcends all extant leadership literature.
Library Journal
Stewardship is one of those books that permanently changes how you think. It obliterates the wall between good business and ethical business Get better business results, change the world, and save your soul with a single book.
Gifford Pinchot III, cofounder and President, Bainbridge Graduate Institute
The most insightful analyst of what ails organizations has written a very timely update of his book Stewardship. With America s newest civic generation, millennials, now flooding the world of work, Block offers a system of governance that captures that generation s need for service over self-interest.
Morley Winograd, coauthor, with Mike Hais, of Millennial Momentum
The new edition of Stewardship is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in building sustainable businesses, organizations, and communities. [Block s] ideas create more engaged organizations, which are better for people, the environment, and business.
Brian Camastral, CEO, Riversong Sanctuary; cofounder, BLITS Foundation; and former Global President, Mars Food
Be forewarned: this is a scary read. In the twenty years I have been engaged in collaborative leadership programs, Peter has been a go-to author for challenging the theory and practice of leadership. In this second edition of Stewardship, Peter leaves us nowhere to hide as he takes an in-depth look at what it truly means to lead from the heart in a culture driven by accountability, metrics, and control. Every yes but I raised is countered with examples, metaphors, skillful explanation, case studies, quotes, practical suggestions, and Peter s trademark creativity and faith in our ability to do the right thing for the common good.
Anne J. Udall, Trustee, American Leadership Forum (ALF); former Director, Charlotte Region Chapter, ALF; and Vice Chair, Udall Foundation
Like Robert Greenleaf before him, Peter Block s voice is that of a contemporary prophet. This revised edition of Stewardship is one of the best books ever written. It serves as a powerful source of hope and encouragement for servant-leaders everywhere.
Larry C. Spears, coauthor of Insights on Leadership, The Spirit of Servant-Leadership, and Fortuitous Encounters
Over the past forty years, through Stewardship and other seminal works, Peter Block has articulated the course required for effective leadership in the 21st century. If only more managers and leaders from every sector took note and practiced the principles of Stewardship productivity would rise, people would be healthier, local community life would be flourishing, and the spirit of democracy would be enlivened worldwide. His message is that essential and that scalable.
Lynn Luckow, President and CEO, LikeMinded.org, and former President and CEO, Craigslist Foundation
Stewardship is love in action. It is time for our organizations to rethink how they exercise power and control. In our changing country and world, our capacity for stewardship may be what ultimately saves our democracy and models accountability and freedom, in their real sense, for the rest of the world. As usual, Peter Block points us in the direction of our better selves, living out a better future.
Sayra Pinto, Principal, Matriz Coaching & Consulting
This is one of those very rare anomalies: a second edition that is more essential and timely than the first. It spotlights our current dysfunctionalities such as the literal looting of so many of our organizations by self-serving top levels and how far we have actually regressed from a pattern of commitment to service and healthy work environments in most corporations. It s impossible to read this book and then continue to look at current organizational processes as (desirable) business as usual.
Fritz Steele, organizational and environmental consultant and coauthor of The Arrogant Leader
As with his other books, the second edition of Stewardship forces the reader to rethink basic assumptions about leadership and change in organizations. Peter always challenges my thinking and offers a perspective that I have never found elsewhere. He makes espoused values come alive. Leading in the way Peter describes requires courage, a virtue missing in many of today s organization leaders. Peter s unique ability to pinpoint the true source of power and confront the reader in a way that cuts through defenses makes reading Stewardship a true learning and growth experience.
Cliff Bolster, Leadership and Learning Consultant, Bolster & Associates, Inc.
Peter Block is one of the most provocative and iconoclastic thinkers we have on the topics of leadership, business, and organizational design. His insights are still fresh and razor sharp, and he expresses them in a singular, poetic style. The new edition of this foundational text extends the scope of his insights to meet the challenges that have arisen in the last twenty years and shows how to create not just productive and humane workplaces but vibrant communities, an engaged democracy, and a healthy planet.
Toni A. Gregory, EdD, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, PhD Program in Interdisciplinary Studies, Union Institute & University
Peter Block s second edition of Stewardship is even more provocative than the first edition was twenty years ago because we are more fearful about our economic and personal well-being than ever before. Block helps us see our own complicity and interconnectedness with all that goes on around us and, with this updated edition, will help a new generation learn that the way to find meaning and purpose in life is to form partnerships for the common good, empower each other through human understanding, and together, build competent societies.
