Ken Blanchard, speaker, tells the story of going on a safari and following the steps of David Livingstone…the man who changed Africa.
When we went to Zambia, he flew into Livingstone, the only city there with an English name. He asked the guide why they didn’t get rid of the name when they became Zambia.
He loved us and cared about us. He stopped slavery here. He was a wonderful human being. He died there and they took his heart out. His body is in Westminster Abbey but his heart was there.
The same guide took Blanchard on a museum tour and it described they trek of Livingstone in Africa. The curator of the museum told them this museum - before we became Zambia was called “the Livingstone Roades Museum. After we became Zambia, we took Rhodes off the name. When asked why? He explained Cecil Rhodes was self-centered. He did it all for himself and made millions off of us. He lied and did it all for his own benefit…not ours. He
wanted his name on everything. David Livingstone wanted his name on nothing.
Isn’t it interesting that it’s his name they kept. HE WAS A SERVANT LEADER.
Are you a serving leader or self-serving leader?
