                   LET US BEGIN WITH A REFLECTION 
     What is Modern Servant Leadership?
     The servant leadership philosophy consists 
     of three pragmatic questions (Greenleaf, 
     1970)
     1. Do those who are being served, while 
       they are being served, grow as persons? 
     2. Do those being served become healthier, 
       wiser, freer, more autonomous, more 
       likely themselves to become servants?
     3. What is the effect on the least privileged 
       in society; will he [or she] benefit, or, at 
       least, not be further deprived?

      Leader
       “Our fundamental understanding of character has much to do
