What this is saying is that if we want to be the most important we must be a slave to all which seemingly contradicts the idea of being important. If you aspire to be a great leader it will have to be through servant leadership and that can look a bit different depending on the situation and the person. A leader is only a leader if he\/she has followers but if leading out of a selfish stance you will very likely not have followers and at that point are managing instead of leading. If we don\u2019t aspire to be a good leader or any leader we still have responsibilities as followers, one of which is not taking a good leader for granted and another is to try and not exploit the servant part of the leadership. We all have responsibilities no matter which side of it we are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLeadership is not a position or a title, it is action and example.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the world, the strong take advantage of and abuse the weak, using them for their own personal pleasure or advantage at the other\u2019s expense.
