• It begins with the feeling that one wants to serve, to
serve first. That conscious choice motivates us to want to

• A servant-leader is very different from one who is
leader first. This is because the priority of the leader first
is to satisfy a power drive or to acquire material
possessions.

served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous,
more likely themselves to become servants?
• Will those whom we serve benefit or be further
deprived?
