Are you a SERVANT-LEADER or a SELF-SERVING LEADER?
“Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-just as the Son of Man did not come to be served,but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28
“One of the quickest ways you can tell the difference between a servant leader and a self-serving leader is how they handle feedback, because one of the biggest fears that self-serving leaders have is to lose their position.”
“Self-serving leaders spend most of their time protecting their status.”
“Servant leaders, however, look at leadership as an act of service. They embrace and welcome feedback as a source of useful information on how they can provide better service.”
“For a follower of Jesus, servant leadership isn’t just an option; it’s a mandate.”
-from The Servant Leader by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges
