Are you a servant?

I have plugged Jim Martin's blog before, and he has another great post today: "Servant-Is It A Throwaway Word?".

A couple of quotes to entice your jump through the link:
"When being a servant looks prestigious, you are probably missing the point!"

"Being a servant is not THE WAY to greatness. It IS greatness."

You enticed me and I jumped. Great stuff. Adds to my wonderings about whether or not servant leadership can ever really be the truthful answer to the interview question "What's the key to how you have so successfully climbed the corporate ladder in this multi-gazillion dollar industry?" I'm not sure servant leadership can be a management style you promote - maybe it can only be a calling you live out.

Great point, Joan. Kind of like someone saying, "I'm going to write a book on how to be a servant - since I do it so well." :)
