Servant Leadership

The journey of servant leadership starts in the heart with motivation and intent. Then it must travel through the head, which is the leader's belief system. All great leaders have a specific leadership point of view that defines how they see their role and their relationships to those they seek to influence and are willing to teach it to others.

Jesus's leadership point of view proclaimed that leadership was first an act of service. He spent three years teaching His leadership point of view to His disciples. When He washed the feet of the disciples and sent them out as His ambassadors, was He commissioning them to do anything the people wanted?

Of course, the answer is No... Jesus was completely focused on pleasing His Father as His audience of One. That meant proclaiming the gospel and bringing salvation to mankind!
