If you want influence, impact, and respect, start by getting low. Jesus modeled this when He knelt to wash His disciples' feet, taking on a task reserved for the lowliest servant. He didn't need to prove His authority or demand their respect. He chose to serve. That's a powerful reminder for anyone in a position of leadership. The higher we rise, the easier it becomes to expect others to serve us rather than looking for opportunities to serve them. Humility isn't thinking less of yourself. It's being willing to put others first, listen when you'd rather speak, admit when you're wrong, and do the work nobody else wants to do. True honor isn't something we demand. It's the fruit of a life spent lifting others up.
