Abstract
I don't necessarily have to like my players and partners. But, as a leader I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects dignity and individuality. This is the strength of any organization. -Vince Lombardi In a television interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was faced with the following question (Kouzes & Posner, 1997, p. 329): - How would you like to be remembered in the future? The answer was simple: - That I loved my troops. That my troops loved me. One would hardly expect that kind of answer from a military leader, leaders whose relationship with subordinates is universally known as the hierarchical autocratic style of leadership. But Schwarzkopf's answer is evidence of the fact that true leadership is not the property of a certain professional, cultural, or academic category. And servant-leadership lies above any category.
