Scott McChyystal, USA (ret) recounts Col. (ret) Stefan Banach’s experience serving a father and son in dire need while stationed in Afghanistan
“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave — just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:26–28)
Context

The truth is that servant leadership is talked about more than it is practiced.
The question asked most frequently might sound like this: What does servant leadership look like? More specifically, within the military context, can you cite a good example of servant leadership? Very simply, “Yes, I can.”
I want to relate an event that occurred in the life of a good friend. His name is Steve Banach.
