Servant as Leader
“ The very essence of leadership, going out ahead to show the way, derives from more than usual openness to inspiration (spiritual capital). Why would anybody accept the leadership of another except that the other sees more clearly where it is best to go?” “But a leader needs more than inspiration. A leader ventures to say, ‘I will go; come with me!’ A leader initiates, (human capital) provides the ideas (cultural capital) and the structure (social capital) and takes the risk of failure along with the chance of success.” p.28-29 Discriminating and determined servants as followers are just as important as servant leaders, and everyone, may from time to time, be in both roles.” p.18 “our vast educational structure gives very little care to nurturing leaders or to understanding followers” “we are in a crises of leadership in which vast numbers of ‘educated’ people make such gross errors in chose whose leadership to follow”
