We were surprised, shocked really, to discover the type of leadership required for turning a good company into a great one. Compared to high–profile leaders with big personalities who make headlines and become celebrities, the good–to–great leaders seem to have come from mars. Self–effacing, quiet, reserved, even shy – these leaders are a paradoxical blend of personal humility and profession al will, They are more like Lincoln and Socrates than Patton or Caesar.
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
