Arthur Ashe on Leadership

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.
