Humble leaders are always thinking about those they are leading and rarely about themselves. John Stuart Mill, Martin Luther King, Old Major, Snowball, and Ralph all are servant leaders who choose service over self-interest. For example, Old Major in Animal Farm he says, "I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for many months longer, and before I die I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired. "(Orwell 47). As a leader, he forgets about himself and only argues animals to pay attention to their miserable life, encouraging them to rebel.
