Currently a Project Manager of all trades, leveraging many agile methodologies, looking to enhance my servant leadership skillset. Though I have read many books related to leadership, are there any recommandations for books specifically related to servant leadership with projects? Thanks!

Well, I'm not sure if leadership can be learned by reading but by practicing. I recommend maybe that you take a practical training instead read a book, in my opinion.

Given that there is no actual role called Agile Project Manager (Agile uses SM, the responsibilities are spread within the team, and the team is accountable), i'd advise searching on effective Scrum Master type books. That is all about Servant Leadership.

If you go through Mike Griffith’s book (ACP Exam Prerp), there are lots of good details about servant leadership which I believe you will find useful.

There are some books on Amazon, though, have no further insight than their reviews can offer. But to continue on Vivek's comment, start to really immerse yourself into what it means to be a successful scrum master. Through doing so, you will gain insight into servant leadership as a mindset, and as you grow as an Agile practitioner, so to will your servant leadership.

Hi All, I was wondering if someone could help me with this; Can someone please recommend a good but inexpensive online course to satisfy the 35 contact hours of formal education needed to apply for the PMP certification.

Wikipedia gives a good start to reading. Toastmasters provide exercise. It is called a philosophy, so it needs much reading and deep dives.

And always consider it is just one of many leadership styles an experienced PM should be able to show.

And the latest PMBoK has some pages on it (p 33ff, agile practice guide)
