Monthly Recaps "A person worthy of being a leader wants power not for himself, but in order to be of service.” - Sam J. Ervin Jr. “Servant leadership is more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly” - M.
