Overwhelmed to be returning back to India from a 4 day retreat in Phoenix, USA with the Service Space gang. About 40 individuals from across the world got together to share how they were trying to be Ladders, not Leaders i.e facilitators for people they served and not implementers!
What really stayed with me though, was this passage on Servant Leaders, by Vinoba Bhave from the monthly magazine - 'Maitri'. I thought it resonated deeply with a lot that was discussed back in Phoenix :)
