The Servant as a Leader<\/p>\n
I agree with the theory that the best leaders are those that emerge from servant positions. It is best to follow someone who knows what it is like to be in your shoes. Greenleaf describes servant leadership as something that \u201cbegins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first\u201d. Then Greenleaf proceeds to add that then a \u201cconscious choice\u201d is what brings a servant to desire to lead.<\/p>\n
It is sadly common that many leaders today lack humility. They do not truly desire to serve. Some leaders truly believe that everyone else is at the pleasure of the leaders. Non-servant leaders have agendas but their goals do not necessarily always have the common people in mind. Servant-leaders are created from people that intrinsically like to serve. This means that when they become leaders they are simply now using stature and prestige as a resource to further serve the people.<\/p>\n
Greenleaf ends the article after empowering individuals and ideologies. It is discussed that for any great change at least one brave individual is needed. Not only this but an individual with a servant mentality must come second to a dream. For the \u201cUnited\u201d States of America, a dream is very much present but we need someone with a servant mentality to come and make this dream accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
