Servant leadership - more food for thought

food for thought 'Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.' J. Donald Walters

'Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.' St. Augustine

'You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.' Anthony J D'Angelo

'Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.' Winston Churchill

'But among you it should be quite different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must become your slave.' Jesus the Christ

I wholeheartedly agree. thanks for the post. One of my favorite passages on leadership is 1 Corinthians 9. I think Paul is reversing the slogans of the Corinthians (which are self-centered) and he wins by losing. I'd love your thought on my short post. http://www.historyandtheology.com/?p=3827

Our world desperately is seeking SERVANT LEADERS--not just leader for the sake of getting a leaders personal agenda fulfilled. Servant leadership take the time to build relationships and guide the people along. Young people must this from church--or they will find it some where else.
