Are We Too Sophisticated to Serve?

Blogger desertpastor invites dialog on the question Are We Too Sophisticated to Serve? His question raises one of my own: could it be, perhaps, that our language of Servant Leadership operates in some way for us as a rationalization for our own preference to pursue the advantages of leadership over the more radical, but far less glamorous, call to servanthood? I wouldn't want to suggest that this is necessarily the case for all, but might it not be something we need be aware of in our own lives?
