Quotes
• “For the longest time, servant leadership has been out there as a set of qualities that leaders can embody and a moral ideal to strive for. I want to be a servant leader; I want to do good, be good, and be of service to others.” (3:20-3:40)
• “For me, I found out that servant leadership is what we really are. It’s our true nature as human beings if we get our ego out of the way.” (5:04-5:16)
• “We are not the control mechanism doing our lives. This is really key, because with servant leadership we think it’s something we need to figure out and then do. But it’s the opposite. It’s not only seeing I can transcend this ego thing, this deficit thing. It’s also seeing: I’m not doing my life. I’m being lived. This body and this mind is here in this universe and this reality and it’s being lived and I can let go and flow with that.” (12:20-13:01)
• “You see very clearly that what is happening is what is supposed to be happening because nobody is controlling anything.” (17:50-17:55)
• “We have to fire our minds from the position of CEO. We’ve made the mind the CEO of everything. We think everything can be solved by using thinking or knowledge or the mind. And that’s not true, because our actual nature is more the heart or intuition or being in service, whatever name you give it, awareness, being. That’s also and maybe even more what we are than the mind. Because the mind appears to us. Thoughts appear to us and we don’t control them.” (31:44-32:27)
