27. leader-first OR servant-first

28. People who are leaders first. They naturally want to lead. They will try to control, make decisions, and give orders. They are driven to lead and want to be in charge. They are possessive about their leadership position. They don’t like feedback, it’s threatening to them. People who are servants first. They assume leadership only if that is the best way they can serve. They are “called” to lead rather than driven, because they naturally want to be helpful. They are not possessive about leadership and willingly give it up if someone more effective is available. They love feedback because they see it as helping them serve better. They can lead or follow.
