In his all time best selling book The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren opens simply with "It's not about you." I believe that this is one of the most fundamental leadership principles that there is and, sadly, often the most missed. Too many 'leaders' are in it for themselves and have the attitude of 'what's in it for me'. Leadership is all about serving others and putting them before yourself. Successful leaders get that. Those who don't eventually have it catch up with them and they fail. You can't have real leadership without service!
