A Steward’s Relationship With the Owner By Kent R. Wilson
Most definitions of stewardship include in one way or another the concept “to manage resources that belong to another.” But what most definitions miss is a critical aspect of a steward’s role: that stewards manage those resources in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the owner.

Steward Leaders Reject Pride By Howard Rich

The main objective is to trip up those following the leader by doing things in such a complicated manner that those in the group will find it impossible to follow. As players are…
