Swami shows us that the greatest leaders see themselves as servants first, they place integrity and character before personal gain, and the know how to tap into the help that is available from both the earthly and spiritual realms. True servant leaders are animated visionaries who cultivate divine power to transform diverse individuals with scattered goals into communities with a unified, sacred mission."Good leadership is not just a matter of making things happen; it is a matter of making essential things happen, making important and productive things happen, and helping people feel good about what is happening.
