Today's blog post is inspired by an excerpt from Greenleafs's essay on servant leadership.
Whilst just a small part of the essay meant a very limited insight into servant leadership, I have naturally started to compare that to the type of leadership I encounter each and every day.
One quote in particular that resonated with me was that servant leadership requires the servant part first; "then the conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead."
I love the idea that first leaders must get to know their followers, have a personal relationship with them and help them, and through that people will want to follow, and be led.
I would definitely like to aspire to be this form of leader, and at the very least to read the rest of Greenleaf's essay!
