Abstract

The Lincy Institute hosted a book talk with Len Jessup, Ph.D., author of Forbes and Amazon best-selling book, “Self Less: Lessons Learned from A Life Devoted to Servant Leadership, in Five Acts.”

Self Less follows Jessup’s story of emotional vulnerability. Blending personal narrative with research, Jessup argues selfless leaders can maximize impact by guiding teams, not controlling them. He stresses the power of constant learning, surrounding yourself with people far smarter than you, and service to others. For leaders seeking to create meaningful change through personal growth, Jessup provides inspiration along with practical advice on inclusive leadership and securing stakeholder buy-in. Self Less offers a roadmap to lead change through humility, kindness, and care for employees and partners.

Jessup is a widely published author and speaker on entrepreneurship, innovation, and organizational change. He is a sought-after advisor on higher education strategy, research growth, new ventures, and executive development.
