In order to become The Servant Leader you must die to your own desires daily.
“You’ll always have everything in life that you want, if you’ll help enough other people get what they want.” – Zig Ziglar
No one is actually a success in life until he/she has actually learned how to be a servant. If you cannot serve others, there’s no place for you in a Leadership position.
It is important that you are willing to serve without trying to reap the benefits in advance. The Servant Leader is a True Servant.
Before looking for a way to get more, look for a way to serve more.
“Selfishness always ends in Self-Destruction.”
You see, no one is actually successful in life until he/she has learned how to serve. It’s not me, me , me. It’s who, who, who. Who can I serve. How can I serve.
“The way to the Throne Room is through the servant’s quarters.”
“He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Matthew 23:11
“But it shall not be so among you; but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.”
Matthew 20:26-27
We all have been called to “serve” those whom we lead. We must be willing to serve, without trying to reap the benefits.
Before you go looking for a way to benefit yourself, you’d better consider, “looking for ways to give.”
“True Leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not to enrich the leader.” –John C Maxwell
“Good leaders must first become good servants.”–Robert Greenleaf
Always be willing to give of yourself in the helping of others. The reason is this: When you give of yourself to helping others, you cannot help but be personally and abundantly rewarded.
The rewards and blessings of being a servant always extends far beyond what can be seen or heard. Don’t believe me. Try it!!
Becoming The Servant Leader is one of the most rewarding occupations you will ever endeavor to achieve.
Again, there is no one who is truly successful in life until they have first learned how to serve others.
