Servant leadership is hard work
The energy required to serve others must come from somewhere – usually personal sacrifice
“Many times the dilemma between accomplishing the mission and taking care of the troops is a false one. Many times both objectives can be achieved if the leader is willing to work a little harder himself” (Cohen, 2001, pp. 175-176).

"The character that takes command in moments of crucial choices has already been determined by a thousand other choices made earlier in seemingly unimportant moments. It has been determined by all the 'little' choices of the past--by all those times when the voice of conscience was at war with the voice of temptation, [which was] whispering the lie that 'it really doesn't matter.' It has been determined by all the day-to-day decisions made when life seemed easy and crises seemed far away…”
