Leadership What is servant leadership?
Slide 29
Leadership While servant leadership is a timeless concept, the
phrase servant leadership was coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in "The
Servant as Leader", an essay that he first published in 1970. In
that essay, Greenleaf said: The servant-leader is servant first It
begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve
first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That
person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps
because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire
material possessionsThe leader- first and the servant-first are two
extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are
part of the infinite variety of human nature. The difference
manifests itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make
sure that other peoples highest priority needs are being served.
The best test, and difficult to administer, is: Do those served
grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier,
wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become
servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in
society? Will they benefit or at least not be further
deprived?

Slide 43
Leadership Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our
light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as
children do...It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And
as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others. (Source: Marianne

Course in Miracles - commonly misattributed to Nelson Mandela 1994
