As much as adopting servant leader habits are crucial, I must admit, except for a few of them I have a long way to go.
With time constraints with well-meaning intentions, I find it difficult to follow all of them, even though I know that they are essential for a servant leader. Take for example; taking the time to be completely by myself, other than when I’m studying etc. I find it very challenging, especially these days.
