However, the real beneficiary of Servant-leadership is the one who leads by serving. Servant-Leadership is the most effective way to develop personal greatness that generates competence, attitude and skills that empowers one to find a need and not just fill it, but lead it. By doing so, the one who leads himself to serve others, leads others by example and creates an atmosphere of excellence where quality breeds excellence and excellence breeds quality.

Who live not to make their own dreams come true, but to make God's Dream come true, through how they live.
