I agree with the idea that the best leaders start off as servants first. It is much easier to follow someone who you can relate too or to follow someone who you think you could become one day. it gives you motivation and can make your relationship with the leader better. I also agree that servant-leaders are more likely to understand humility, unlike non-servant leaders who worry about their personal goals more than the common good. I also find Greenleaf’s use of the prophet interesting. It makes me think of religious times. I think Jesus would be a perfect example of a servant leader. Jesus began as a carpenter which is a humble job before he became a leader. Jesus understood what it was like to be a servant and often helped others who were at the bottom. Greenleaf uses Leo as another example of this but I think Jesus is just as good of an example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
