Good leaders must first become good servants.

The quality of a society will be judged by what the least privileged in it achieves.

The best leaders are clear. They continually light the way, and in the process, let each person know that what they do makes a difference. The best test as a leader is: Do those served grow as persons; do they become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become leaders?

Nothing much happens without a dream. For something really great to happen, it takes a really great dream.

The servant leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve.

Even the frankest and bravest of subordinates do not talk with their boss the same way they talk with colleagues.

The only test of leadership is that somebody follows.
