HOW THE SERVING LEADER GROWS, COMING SOON!

Immaturity, unethicalness and character failings in leadership dominate the headlines. Leaders who misuse their position and power to serve themselves and to protect their misdeeds end up harming human beings, damaging organizations and ruining communities. If we are to have a flourishing world in which SERVICE is the trademark of leadership, we will need better leaders. The best way for our world to get better leaders is for each one of us to make the commitment to become one.
