The concerns of Robert Greenleaf

It is a busy time as we are in the midst of our Summer Institute. But I thought I would start out the week with a quote from Greenleaf's Servant: Leader & Follower:

Behind what is said in The Servant as Leader is a twofold concern: first for the individual in society and the tendency to deal with the massive problems of our times too much in terms of systems, ideologies, and movements.......My second concern is for the individual as a serving person and the tendency to deny wholeness to oneself by failing to lead when one can lead, or by not choosing with discrimination when it is more appropriate to follow.
