Leaders who understand that leading others is a privilege also understand that leading is first and foremost about service. Too many people feel that having a position of leadership and authority is their God-given right. They feel superior to those in their employ or at so-called lower levels in the organization.

They should never forget this fact and never act in a cavalier fashion. Their decisions, actions, and how they carry themselves impact a large and diverse community.
According to Warren Bennis, always remember that leadership is a privilege. When you’re in a leadership role, your influence may impact the trajectory of peoples’ entire careers (and often life!).
