1. Servant Leadership: Leading Without Power Sam Davidson – CoolPeopleCare.org

2. The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall. Ernesto "Che" Guevara

3. A revolution is a movement that has become mainstream.

4. More people Doing more things That become a way of life

5. Servant leaders are best prepared to bring about large-scale and lasting change.

6. Servant leaders are call to a purpose, not to a position.

7. Servant leaders succeed only when his or her followers do.

8. Servant leaders know when it’s time to move on.

9. Servant leaders listen.

18. “ Not much happens without a dream. And for something great to happen, there must be a great dream. Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams.
