Greenleaf Philosophy

"The servant-leader is servant first... Becoming aservant-leader begins with the natural feeling that onewants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choicebrings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharplydifferent from one who is leader first... The differencemanifests itself in the care taken by the servant first tomake sure that other people's highest priority needsare being served. The best test, and the most difficultto administer, is this: Do those served grow aspersons? Do they, while being served, becomehealthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likelythemselves to become servants?"
