Servant Leadership and Chanakya

Recently, while I was going through Wikipedia, I came to know that, servant leadreship is not a new concept and this concept existed even as early as 4th century. Chanakya or Kautilya, strategic thinker in India has advocated this concept in his books. As per Chankaya

the king[leader] shall consider as good, not what pleases himself but what pleases his subjects [followers]". He argued that "the king [leader] is a paid servant and enjoys the resources of the state together with the people"
