The Unimportance of Prominence

A REAL test of leadership is the readiness to be invisible. The rudder is under water during a voyage, and is not seen by the passengers. If it were made chiefly to be seen, its guiding power would not amount to much. Until we learn not to care whether we are observed of men or not, we shall never become as effective in leadership as we might. The great forces of nature work chiefly without attracting attention. Let us faithfully do our work, and trust our Master to give what recognition is best for us.—Selected.
