True greatness,true leadership,is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you. True service is never without cost. Often it comes with a painful baptism of suffering. But the true spiritual leader is focused on the service he and she can render to God and other people, not on the residuals and perks of high office or holy title. We must aim to put more into life than we take out.

If you Need to convince others that you’re happy, then you have Not found real Joy. If you Need to impress others with material objects, then you do Not understand true Wealth. If you Need to correct others, then you have Not looked in the mirror. If you Need to put others down, you have Not connected to your Higher Self. Know Yourself. Be Honest with Yourself. Don’t be a teacher or judge, be an... Example.

Eric Allen

The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself. Check yourself against this list of obstacles to a pleasing personality: interrupting others; sarcasm; vanity; being a poor listener; insincere flattery; finding fault; challenging others without good cause; giving unsolicited advice; complaining; attitude of superiority; envy of others' success; poor posture and dress.

Harold Geneen

Leadership doesn't mean giving marching orders that others must follow blindly. Rather, it means causing others to want to follow. Successful leadership is personal.

Pat Heim

Grant me courage to serve others; For in service there is true life.

Cesar Chavez

Advance yourself by advancing others. Do not judge others. Be of service to them, but realize that you are not necessarily the instrument of perfecting and immortalizing others.

Frederick Lenz

True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.

J. Oswald Sanders

The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.

Spencer W. Kimball

It is time for you to make a commitment to create joy, creativity and love for yourself, only then will you benefit others, for if you do not evolve yourself, you do not serve others. By becoming a living example, by following what is in your heart, you show the way for others to follow with courage, what is in their hearts.

Barbara Marciniak

Be men and women with others and for others: true champions at the service of others.

Pope Francis

You're able to love others, to give to others, and do for others by giving and doing for yourself first.

Wayne Dyer

As a business owner, leadership is more than just telling others what to do. Leadership is about the investment we make into others and the responsibilities we accept for being the voice and direction that others count on.

Lewis Howes

Giving consistent effort in the little things in day-to-day life leads to true greatness. Specifically, it is the thousands of little deeds and tasks of service and sacrifice that constitute the giving or losing of one's life for others and for the Lord. They include gaining a knowledge of our Father in Heaven and of the gospel. They also include bringing others into the faith and fellowship of his kingdom. These things do not usually receive the attention or the adulation of the world.... .

Howard W. Hunter

What kind of guilt comes from being true to yourself but not to others?. As we have seen, being true to yourself may at times intrinsically and necessarily be in conflict with being true to others.
