What We Mean by Servant Leaders
A servant leader does not begin with the question, “How do I gain power?” A servant leader begins with the question, “Who needs help, what is fair, what is true, and how can I serve with humility?”
The Philanthropist Party welcomes candidates, civic leaders, donors, volunteers, students, local organizers, and public-interest builders who want to place public service before personal status.
While American history includes strong Christian influences and language about God-given rights, participation in this project does not require any particular religion or nationality. People do not need to be Christian or American to value human dignity, local service, honest government, peaceful disagreement, and a culture of placing others before themselves.
We seek people willing to serve, listen, learn, disclose conflicts, correct mistakes, and help communities make better decisions.
