3 Reasons Corazon Aquino Became an Iconic World Leader

1. She was a servant leader.
2. Her servant leadership was rooted in her “deep personal spirituality lived integrally” (and sustained by an interior or inner life.)
3. Her servant leadership, fueled by her spirituality, displayed itself through her love for people and through her avoidance of the systemic government corruption.
