Modeling the Unconventional Leadership of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus Taught that Leadership is Servanthood
Reversing the leadership pyramid
- Gentle and lowly in heart (Matt 11:29)
- Brothers and servants, not pompous religious frauds (Matt 23:1-12)
- Instead of thrones and purple robes, expect suffering, sacrifice, and service (Mark 10:35-45, Matt 20:17-28)
- The greatest is the one who serves the least (Luke 22:24-27)
- Embracing the symbols of the towel and the wash basin (John 13:3-17)
- The Strong Man Mentality vs. the Humble Servant Mentality
- The Autocratic Model of Leadership and Rule
- The Servant Model of Leadership
Jesus Taught that Leadership is People-Centered Leadership
- Develop a shepherd’s eye for people
- Remember people’s names
- Pray for the people
- Encourage people
- Open your home to people (THE most powerful tool you have)
- Speak and act with gentleness and patience
- Compassionate care for suffering people
- Be among the people: The Shepherd’s Presence
