 “The Need for Service Rather than Leadership” describes the stifling of African Americans’ ambition and roadblocks that keep them from becoming leaders.Woodson also lies out the reasons as to why this, but mostly shifting the blame to the lack of unity within the African American community; often referring back to points made in “The Educated Negro Leaves the Masses” and how there is too much internal conflict and dissention within the community to allow for upward mobility for the community as a whole.In “Hirelings in the Places of Public Servants,” Woodson brings up the lack of African Americans in positions of power in the workplace.
