10. Be kind to yourself/Be kind to others.
9. Seek to understand others and listen carefully
to what they have to say.
8. Avoid making assumptions.
7. All things considered, it is generally best to be
cautiously optimistic in life.
6. Recognize and understand your fears, then
resolve to grow in your own bravery over time
by gradually confronting and overcoming
those fears.
5. Live your life in a conscientious fashion, holding
good values and high ethics.
4. Be an active learner throughout life.
3. Leading is good. Serving is better. Serving and
leading is best.
2. To the greatest extent possible, insist upon the
right to make decisions that affect your own life,
and support others in their own quests for those
same rights.
1. Show people that they matter to you.
The servant leader is servant first. It begins with the
natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve
first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to
lead. The best test and the most difficult to
administer is: Do those served grow as persons? Do
they, while being served, become healthier, wiser,
freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to
become servants? And what is the effect on the
least privileged in society; will they benefit or, at
least, not be further deprived?
--Robert K. Greenleaf, from The Servant as Leader
