    Portfolio Output No. 21: Reflections on Leadership and Membership

    Servant -Leadership Robert Greenleaf once said, “Servant leadership always empathizes, always
    accepts the person, but sometimes refuses to accept some of the person’s effort or performance as good
    enough.” I know a leader that truly fits in the description of a “Servant Leader”. In my opinion, Ramon
    Magsaysay, the seventh president of the Philippines, truly holds the title of being the servant leader of
    the Philippines. According to the article of Jose V. Abueva, Magsaysay represented the restless energy,
    ambition, hope, and moral courage of a people grown tired of being pushed around for so long and
    eager to prove their worth to the world. His role as leader of a newly free people was unambiguous—he
    was to lead them in their quest for the good life. The people could readily identify with their president
    because they felt he was sprung from them. By his word, action, and habits, Magsaysay transformed
    the people’s expectations of political leadership and the presidency. They looked up to him as their
    highest leader and many literally marched with him to Malacañang. Never before had so many plain
    folk received so much of the president’s personal time and attention. Everywhere Magsaysay went he
    raised people’s expectations of what the government under his leadership would do for them. To the
    people Magsaysay became a symbol and promise of a working democracy and a better life.   My
    mother always tell me when I was young, “A good leader is a good follower.” The keypoints of the
    article that made a great impact on me is as follows: 1) Being a servant. 2) Being a leader. 3) Being a
    leader from being a servant. Being a servant allows someone to empathize to people that is lower and
    will be lower in life-status of him/her. They will know what will be the right decision in order to
    improve the poor’s life because they came from being poor. Being a leader sometimes do not accept
    failure because he/she has a goal that he/she wants to achieve with the group he/she leads. Being a
    leader from being a servant holds the promise of bringing success by always elevating his/her
    groupmates goals in life with reasonable and empathizing ways. The line “If there is a single
    characteristic of the servantleader that standout in Greenleaf’s essay, it is the desire to serve” made a
    great impact on me. A leader must not attain his/her goals independently from other but to attain
    everyone’s goals with the other or sometimes other’s goals only. He/she must want to serve others
    instead of serving his/her self in the process of being a leader. Overall, I like the article of Servant-
    leadership but IO can’t relate because I have lived my life on becoming a leader-first than a servant-
    leader. This made a great impact on me to change my ways.
