Moral authority is another way to define servant leadership because it represents a reciprocal choice between leader and follower.

They grow to trust one another.

Leadership is a choice. It's not a rank, it's a choice. I know many people who are at the top of their organization who have authority.

We've followed our leaders, and sometimes they win and sometimes they lose; we do what they say and we play our part. But this is our decision. Our mission. And when we're done, it will be our victory, or our defeat. I don't want to fail, but if I do, I want to be able to look back and say, 'I did that. I failed. That was all me.
