The Servant Leader Revised 03/20

The Servant-Leader:

The role model … 

The risk-taker …

The promoter of others … 

The initiator …

Not the moocher—

But the giver

Is the one who will walk … 

That extra mile—stride

In another … person's shoes … 

Listen!  He and she truly

 Lead, and are …

Always approachable … 

The door of the heart 

Never closes-- 

… As she listens …

She learns —

As does he—

They work together,

Avoiding the arrogance 

That is ignorance—


Both… tend to be...

Generous … 

They wash …

Each other’s feet … 

And the feet of those

Who need it most!


Her words are matched by her gait,

And with her gentle grace

Those before her feel secure—

And he becomes 

Measured, modest and more restrained!


Both by nature are ‘night birds’—

Become leaders 

In the sunlight!
