James C. Hunter.<\/strong> <\/em> Today I\u2019m in a revival mood. The Servant was one of the first management stories I read, more than 20 years ago. Last month, in my interview to David Cantallops (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emmaginer.com\/en\/7-minutes-with-david-cantallops%e2%80%a8%e2%80%a8\/\">click here<\/a>), we discussed this book, which for years I recommended over and over <!--more--> again to all the teams I worked with.<\/p>\n<p>I am a big fan of the concepts of <strong>power, authority and leadership<\/strong> which are so well-developed by the author. They inspired a team dynamic I repeated in almost all my management sessions in 4 continents (I haven\u2019t covered Australia yet). Beyond generations, culture, gender, race or religion, the conclusions of this dynamic were always the same. In short, The Servant represented the fundamentals of my first steps developing teams. And, in fact, it is still a reference.<\/p>\n<p>Today, re-reading it, I am just wondering why in Spanish it was translated as \u201cLa Paradoja\u201d (\u201cThe Paradox\u201d). <em>The Servant<\/em> is about <strong>service leadership (\u201cto lead you <\/strong>have<strong> to serve\u201d)<\/strong>. It\u2019s puzzling that for the Spanish translator, in the 90s, associating the verbs \u201cto lead\u201d and \u201cto serve\u201d, made him\/her think about the \u201cparadox\u201d concept. Ok, I am a translator and I am taking my reflexions too far. But am I the only one who finds this puzzling?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Servant. James C. Hunter.
