Lesson of a Servant Queen

Whatever else one might think of the day's proceedings, for me this sentence from Archbishop Welby's sermon at the State Funeral is the fundamental wisdom of leadership in any context.

“People of loving service are rare in any walk of life. Leaders of loving service are still rarer. But in all cases those who serve will be loved and remembered when those who cling to power and privileges are long forgotten.”

Archbishop Justin Welby, at the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II
