“The best leaders are clear. They continually light the way, and in the process, let each person know that what they do makes a difference. The best test as a leader is: Do those served grow as persons; do they become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become leaders?” KnowsWayPersonsLightGrowsProcessLeadershipDifferencesLeaderClearBecomingTestsPersonal GrowthMaking A DifferenceWiserBeing FreeAutonomousGreat LeadershipBest LeaderServant Leadership Author:Robert K.

“Moral authority is another way to define servant leadership because it represents a reciprocal choice between leader and follower. If the leader is principle centered, he or she will develop moral authority. If the follower is principle centered, he or she will follow the leader. In this sense, both leaders and followers are followers. Why? They follow truth. They follow natural law. They follow principles. They follow a common, agreed-upon vision. They share values. They grow to trust one another.” IfsWayLawValuesChoicesGrowsNaturalCommonLeaderMoralVisionPrinciplesShareAuthorityServantFollowersAnother WayNatural LawReciprocalServant LeadershipMoral Authority Author:Robert K.
