'...Organizations led by servant leaders are more likely to create environments where people at all levels can experience both success and significance.
We’ve found over the years that when you focus only on success, you will never reach significance. That’s the problem with self-serving leaders – they never get out of their own way. On the other hand, if you focus on significance – generosity, service and loving relationships – you’ll be amazed at how much success will come your way. Take Mother Teresa. She couldn’t have cared less about accumulating wealth, recognition and status. Her whole life was focused on significance. And yet what happened? Success came her way. Her ministry received tremendous financial backing, she was recognized all over the world and she was given the highest status wherever she went. She was the ultimate servant leader. If you focus on the significance first, your emphasis will be on people. Through that emphasis, success and results will follow.’
