2 Abstract The handbook on Lead like Jesus Revisited instructs how to start like Jesus Christ guided and continue to lead. The authors (Blanchard, Hodges, and Hendry) gave a decisive model in acknowledging worldly and divine leadership lateral by providing a divine illustration of how Christ informed and led his people during his physical walk. The partition of the book, divided into sections, grants the reader to benefit passages as leadership is specific and examined in the first section of the reading. "Secondly, The Heart of a Great Leader" analyzes what divine leadership should be by seeking the nature of Christ and by knowing if the Love of Christ guides you. There are some teachings on repentance and pinpointing if you lead with an upstanding, timid, or self-centered heart. The authors also wrote about the “being and doing habits” of leading like Christ. One of the most considerable and touching passages was about developing your vision and personal acknowledgment for ministry. The part on "The Hands of a Great" leader was thorough as we observed how Jesus' teaching as a carpenter made the way for him for leadership. Many essential qualities of his earthly and heavenly mission discussed the learning from the book Complete Pivot. The book ends with different means in "The Next Steps to Leading like Jesus." The sectors summed up the book into discerning the character of development one has to encounter to be a leader like Jesus. The chapter has the person to evaluate their position as a leader. Many do not comprehend who they are as leaders because they do not have the right to own the description of leader, boss, or pastor, but when named "who has had a significant influence on their lives," few character individuals with that description. 1 In reconsideration, the persons we tend to look up to typically drop into the group of friends and family. What does this mean? We are leaders, and 1 Ken Blanchard, Phil Hodges, and Phyllis Hendry . Lead Like Jesus: Revisited . (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2016), 163.

3 someone is always watching us as a person to look to. Next, the factor begins with the study of the leadership of servants. This is the kind of leader Christ is; he leads by helping others. Yet, he was God in the flesh; he arose to help, not be helped. Jesus Christ is an excellent role model for us to follow. Although we will never be perfect like him, he equipped a model for the disciples and his present-day disciples to maintain to encourage individuals to deliverance. As we begin to ponder leadership, we can see that we influence the behavior, thinking, and development of others by how they perceive the life we lead. 2 This adventure must start within our souls and thoughts; divine leaders know who they belong to and who they do not belong to. People grasp that their lives are not their own lives. Leading like Jesus Christ involves the arrangement of our hearts, heads, hands, and actions. "When those four leadership territories are parallel, our mindset is changed, we gain the people's trust, develop communities, and the organization's culture is transformed." 3 To lead the way Christ led, you must have a Christ-like heart. "Within your heart lies the ideal you do what you do; your heart is home to your purpose and motivation." 4 Love is something we must lead by to be like Jesus. To love like Christ means being generous, divine, and surrendering everything. This part of the book examines the aspects of the heart not adjusting to the Love of Christ. The topic of " Edging God Out " was densely mentioned. There are several ways that a person can " Edge God Out " by restoring him with other things. They tend to put another thing in his place, " Believing in Something Other than Our God " and " Valuing others as the Main Audience for and Sole Authority over Our Lives ." 5 Those actions can happen to anyone as we continue to live our lives and try to manage a way to unravel the concern and 2 Ibid, 165. 3 Ibid, 165-166. 4 Ibid, 170. 5 Ibid, 172.
