Leadership demands a servant heart

Abstract

It takes much more than knowledge to become an outstanding leader today. Authoritative, moral, and sacrificial leadership must be evident in performance, and although increasingly uncommon in our society, involvement with our fellow human beings must go far beyond getting along with others. The true leader must have faith in the unlimited capacities of man, and be loyal, enthusiastic, and absolutely honest. Perhaps above all, he must be willing to pay the price of his position: he must serve his employees, not rule.
