“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.

“With what moral authority can they speak of human rights - the rulers of a nation in which the millionaire and beggar coexist; the Indian is exterminated; the black man is discriminated against; the woman is prostituted; and the great masses of Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Latin Americans are scorned, exploited, and humiliated? How can they do this - the bosses of an empire where the mafia, gambling, and child prostitution are imposed; where the CIA organizes plans of global subversion and espionage, and the Pentagon creates neutron bombs capable of preserving material assets and wiping out human beings.” MenHumansWarSpeakNationsBlackHuman BeingsMoralRightsPlansMaterialsColdAuthorityMassCapableHuman RightsIndianBombsLatinAssetsRulersOrganizeCold WarMillionaireCiaBeggarLatin AmericaEspionageHumiliatedPentagonCoexistSubversionLatin AmericanScornedMoral AuthorityWiping OutNeutrons Author:Fidel Castro

“The voices of moral authority in the theatre demanded only punctuality and physical performance. In the light of continuing pressure and stress, the occasional lip service paid to moderation was meaningless.
