To lead, you must serve. this is the solid

premise of the book “The Servant” by James C. Hunter.

It is discussed through the story of John Daily, a

business executive who begins to lose control as boss,

husband, father and coach. They convinced him to go

on a week-long retreat at a Benedictine monastery to refocus and find her balance. During the retreat, a

train Legend of Wall Street turned monk shows

he has a different perspective on leadership: serving the leadership.

The ten attributes of love and leadership

The book listed the following as the qualities of

serving as leader. By the way, these are also the

attributes of love, which was previously defined as one’s behavior towards others.

1. Patient – showing self-control.

2. Kind: giving attention, appreciation and

cheer up.

3. Humble – being authentic without pretensions or

arrogance.

4. Respectful: treat others as important people.

5. Selfless: meeting the needs of others.

6. Forgive: Give up resentment when hurt.

7. Honest: be free from disappointment.

8. Committed: Sticking to your choices.

a garden, the earth, the sun, the water, the manure,

and the care of the gardener make up the

environment under which the plant will grow and mature.

However, the only thing you are not sure of is

when the flowers will really bloom. consider

that influence is not a magic stem that

sprout overnight; rather, it is

something that grows over time.

The rewards of leading with authority

show kindness and be honest, among other things.

and spiritually, which is essentially the ultimate goal of

the individual’s journey through life.

when you put others first and free yourself from

chains of egocentrism Like a certain Dr. Albert
