This story holds such an important lesson. So often today we hear stories of people in power taking advantage of others, as if they expect others to bow down to that power. I agree that the person in charge has great responsibility. Part of that responsibility is to be a good role model for others. We need more people to understand that in doing that everyone succeeds. Also, everyone falls on hard times, even leaders. I am not impressed by rank; rather, it is love and compassion that moves me.

So true – I think that leaders who truly seek to serve and help are driven by motives that give their roles deeper meaning and, as you mentioned, greater responsibility. Because they are thinking of what is best for others, rather than just themselves, they make better decisions, and they are usually more passionate about their role as leader, and more authentic in their behaviour. The greatest leaders, in any field, have indeed approached their duty as servitude to others. Thanks for this thought-provoking post!

A great attitude of deference to whomever is in need. One size fits all!

A wonderful and interesting story – thanks! Yes, wouldn’t it be great if our current leaders would follow this example!

I found this very interesting Allie! I agree, if only we practiced this type of leadership the world would a much different place. Great food for thought! I am going to the beach to enjoy the pre summer very warm weather for Mother’s Day! Hooray! I hope you get to relax for your Happy Mother’s Day!
