Servanthood isn't about subjugation or self-abandonment—it's about performing a role with compassion and putting others' needs before our own in leadership.

• The self-help industry has conditioned us to focus exclusively on ourselves rather than lifting our communities
• Cancel culture has destroyed meaningful relationships by denying people the grace to make mistakes
• True servant leadership is not people-pleasing—people-pleasing is actually selfish manipulation
• Most successful people got where they are because someone believed in them and served them
• Being a leader is a privilege, not a right, and requires genuine care for others' growth
• We often judge others harshly for struggles we've either experienced or may face in the future
• Community and support are crucial factors in determining whether someone reaches their potential
