International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Abstract

This talk was delivered by Myrlie Evers-Williams as a Keynote at the 2006 International Conference of the Robert K Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership in Indianapolis, Indiana. Good morning. Good morning to each and every one of you. I am delighted to have been invited to share this morning with you. A few months ago, as a matter of fact, I was in Chicago and had a chance to meet with Jeff Miller and others from the Greenleaf Center. We had an absolutely marvelous discussion and in a moment of weakness, when I was asked if I would speak, I said, "Of course I will. I'd be delighted. I'd be honored." Those things are still true. But time has a funny way of slipping up on you, without you realizing that what you just promised is just around the comer. And then other things happen and it's like, "Did I really say that I would do that?" Yes, I did, and I'm pleased to be here. I do have friends in this audience, and I wish to thank them for helping me to physically make it here this morning. I would love to shake the hand of each and every one of you, but I will not do that, since I seem to have a non-contagious cough. So don't stay away, don't stay away, but be aware of what is happening with me.
