What I Learned About Leatership

Atkinson (2014) believes effective leadership displays, “No person is less divine than another, and therefore no person is less than another” (p. 145). Throughout the bible, there are many people in scripture that God placed in leadership roles. Jesus, David, Moses, Paul, Peter, Abraham and many others are some of those leaders. There are core attributes discussed in the lecture that personally reflect my opinion of what an effective leader of Christ needs such as, a shared vision, model of the way, empowerment of others, challenge of the process, and encouragement of the heart.

Servant leadership from a Christian perspective is a replica of what Jesus Christ symbolizes. Jesus was a servant because he showed truth, vision, humility, commitment, teacher to his followers, and brought about change; he was a suffering servant, yet was merciful, he was a teacher, yet willing to be taught by the Holy Spirit. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

Each of these phases incorporated Jesus as leading by example and with each new phase, a higher level of commitment is necessary. The goal of this demonstration is that through your example, they will learn and use your tools to translate into being successful leaders themselves.

As I think on how would Jesus lead in situations of change, I immediately began to think about many situations that I was forced to be a leader in. First, I began to think about as little girl, I was always placed in a leadership role among my brothers and sisters. Second, I began to to think about being force to lead in projects on my job, because many new that I would get the job done. Lastly, I thought about being placed

“There is much that can be learned about leadership from Scripture” (Smith, 1992, p. 39). The Bible provides us with what God not only desires His man of God to be, but requires His under shepherd to meet His character traits.

Be that as it may, similar to guardians who adore their youngsters unequivocally, however, are focused on helping them decide and get to completely observe their wide potential, servant pioneers acknowledge adherents as they are yet looking to transmute them to be better servant pioneers. It is, accordingly, exact to reason that there is a higher reason that servant pioneers seek after, to be specific to transform supporters into servant pioneers and that they utilize administration to attempt to a good example these practices. This is unmistakably shown in the case of Jesus Christ as sketched out in the Book of scriptures. Jesus bore a higher reason that is to impact others to occupy their lives in cherishing admiration to his Dad. Jesus' life was an impression of that higher reason, and his sole distraction was to attempt to inspire others to do likewise (i.e., impact) by taking part in selflessness administration to them. In this light, Jesus was a pioneer trying to impact first and took the way of servant pioneer to do that occupation. Henceforth, servant pioneers can help others with an end goal to model perfect practices, however, the aim stays to entice somebody to understand the visual methodology of more prominent benefit, or if nothing else that pioneer's translation of the bigger great. It is in this way proper to view servant leadership as a dyadic hypothesis where there is a one of a kind one-on-one connection amongst leader and

It is essential for the leader-teacher to exhibit a Christ like character when leading God’s people. Bredfeldt states, “Character is the consistent enactment of biblical values through the power of Christlike virtues.” There are many values, and virtues that are essential to being a great leader. However, there are many that are indispensable. Therefore, a faithful leader is one that is indispensable. Consequently, “To be a faithful person is to be a trustworthy individual. Faithfulness is foundational to effectiveness as a leader-teacher.” This is imperative to me, because if one could remain faithful to the Lord, I know that he/she will be faithful to the work that the Lord has called for them

My character started forming back in the 90s when I, a 25-year-old medical college graduate, became an "accidental" church planter. Together with my friends, we were playing Christian "street music" and preaching the Good News in downtown Kremenchuk, the Ukrainian city that I grew up in. Soon, people started coming to Christ, which forced us to launch a community group that later became a church. That was the first time I began evaluating my relationship with other people as a leader and surveying my character formation. Hence, I discovered continual inconsistencies between my own character and the biblical description of a Christian leader.

By all accounts, Jesus was completely unqualified to accomplish the vision he had. He was a carpenter by trade, had no paid staff, no marketing department and no past public speaking or leadership skills (Briner, 1997). In an essence, Jesus had no resources to help him advance his vision. According to the book, Leadership Lessons of Jesus, the author states that Jesus lived less than forty years and only the last four years of his life was spent casting his vision (Briner, 1997)! How did he accomplish the amazing task of advancing his vision? Jesus empowered his followers. Jesus created an environment where people wanted to follow him. Through our course lesson reading Gen Colin Powell was quoted as saying “...you know you’re a great leader when people follow you out curiosity”. He went on to say that the most important aspect of leadership was “trust”. Jesus created and lived in an environment of trust. In the book of Mark chapter 1 verse 17 there is a story about Jesus walking up to a group of four fishermen on a bank. He spoke to them stating “… drop your nets and follow me and I will make you fishers of men”. Did they question Jesus’s actions? Did they turn and run? No, they followed him out of curiosity and trust. Those four men went on to be some of the most influential members of Jesus’s staff. All because Jesus was the type of leader they wanted to follow. Jesus built a team, equipped that team to lead, motivated and inspired them, trained them, and much like our

Jesus led His disciples by example. He led by example when he taught them to pray, when He taught them how to relate scripture to their lives and to evangelize and how to win souls. Jesus was always teaching.

Church leaders can get equipped by gaining an in-depth thoughtful of management. They want to have a proper hold of the solid core of the Church to nourish its body which we are the Church in these tough times. Further, it is frustrating to change some compound or wasteful strategy to function as a Church; we want to recoup to the fundamentals of God’s will. Individuals today do not need another foundation which necessitates high preservation to retain it successively. What was Jesus doing? He possibly was communicating with His Father. How long will it take to repair the world with the gospel message? It will probably take an eternity to that. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and

When we take a deeper look into Jesus’ teaching, several modern teaching strategies start to arise. We see Jesus use different strategies to keep His students’ attention as well as aid in the

There were great leadership skills learned from God’s disciples. Elijah taught Maxwell that “As leaders, we can get caught up in many things that aren’t the main thing and Good leaders remain focused on what God has called them to do”

Jesus lays out the paradigm how pastors should also be shepherds to their sheep, and are willing to do all that is necessary to save their flock.

On being the head of the new Christian church, peters charismatic speeches earned many followers. He was thus able to connect to the audience lives, connect with them, resonate with them and shared the vision god and his path of righteousness.
