True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. – Arthur Ashe

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably know how I feel about just sharing articles and quotes for the sake of sharing.  If not, you can check it out here.

As I reflected on this quote, I couldn’t help but substitute the word “leadership” for “heroism”.

Restated:  True leadership is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. – Arthur Ashe

The quote seems applicable to managing people and seems to embrace Servant Leadership.  When I got my first management position, I got in for the wrong reasons.  I wanted people to respect me, and I wanted to make a lot of money.  Luckily, I got some good advice along the way.  Hopefully, you’ll take this quote as a piece of advice.  If you don’t know anything about Servant Leadership, click here for a start.

Thanks for coming in today.
