About This Quote

To understand this statement, it is important to remember that there are three different types of leaders: dictators, leaders, and administrators. The dictator sees everything through the lens of power, making it almost impossible to serve. The leader sees serving as the fulfillment of their mission, but can act in ways that lead to power.
