The Servant Leader's Playbook: Building Leaders. Changing Lives.

By James D Smith

Lead with influence-not authority.

The Servant Leader's Playbook is a pocket-sized field manual for leaders who want more than compliance. It's for those who want to earn trust, build strong teams, and unlock the best in others-without barking orders, micromanaging, or leading through fear.

Drawing from James D. Smith's real-world leadership journey as a U.S. Army veteran, former mayor, ministry leader, lifelong trainer, and co-owner of a historic theatre, this playbook delivers ten practical lessons you can apply immediately-whether you're leading in business, government, nonprofits, schools, or the community.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Lead through influence, not position

Help others win-and watch your own leadership multiply

Use encouragement as a leader's most overlooked superpower

Serve with strength, listen with purpose, and build trust that lasts

Replace fear-driven leadership with a culture of positivity and belief

Build a legacy by developing leaders who will outlast your title

Practice servant leadership daily with simple checklists, reflection prompts, and "Playbook Power Moves"

This isn't a textbook. It's a guide you'll actually use-built to be highlighted, revisited, and carried into the real world.

If you're ready to become the kind of leader people want to follow-this playbook is your next step.
