If you seek honor and respect you will not find it, for a leader is powerless to elevate himself. It is only when you serve others without regard for self, will honor, respect and lasting success be found.

About This Quote

The quote, “If you seek honor and respect you will not find it, for a leader is powerless to elevate himself,” was written by Aesop. It is an important lesson for leaders because it can be used as a reminder to all of us that the path to influence and leadership is not through selfishness or self-aggrandizement. A leader must act in service of others. If I want others to respect me, I must first respect them. If I do this, then they will follow my lead without question.
