True greatness,true leadership,is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you. True service is never without cost. Often it comes with a painful baptism of suffering. But the true spiritual leader is focused on the service he and she can render to God and other people, not on the residuals and perks of high office or holy title. We must aim to put more into life than we take out.
J. Oswald SandersTo be a leader in the Church has always required strength and faith beyond the merely human.
J. Oswald SandersTrue leaders must be willing to suffer for the sake of objectives great enough to demand their wholehearted obedience.
J. Oswald SandersLeadership is the ability to recognize the special abilities and limitations of others, combined with the capacity to fit each one into the job where he will do his best.
