“There is nothing as powerful as an idea whose time has come.”

The servant leader is one who seeks to draw out, inspire, and develop the best and highest within people from the inside out. Steven Covey, the forward of Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power & Greatness by Robert K. Greenleaf
Moral Authority = Servant Leadership
"The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve the leader, but the number of people served by the leader.“ ~ Adapted from a quote by John C. Maxwell.

“We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead." by William Arthur Ward as quoted in Leadership . . . with a human touch. June 1,1999. p.11.

Listen and Changing the Pyramid
Listen / Silent
The leadership must show a real, genuine sense of being Christ’s
servant and modeling it, and recognize the people in their care
as His children.(Galatians 2:20-21; Ephesians 4:11-13).
A leader has to be interested in finding the best way, not in having his own way. John Wooden
Change the Pyramid:
Good leaders, who are servants, are relational and not loners.
(Mark 1:32-39)
· Good leaders, even those with the kindest hearts and the most patience need to maintain accountability to and for others. Reasonable deadlines need to be enforced.
Be one who delegates by respecting, supporting, and equipping others, not micromanaging them. Affirmation and listening will foster cooperation and unity (Prov. 12:25; 20:5).
Rather, it is the ability to pass on God’s love and insights to others. It is first being a learner, absorbing and applying what God has for us, then replicating that in others.
Servant Leadership is a team approach! The teammates know that working together means giving without receiving, as well as growing spiritually, both personally and corporately!
If you are in leadership, then be a good leader!
When Jesus said in Matthew 23:11, “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant”, he made a statement by which any business can live and thrive. (Briner, 1996)
“The true leader serves. Serves people. Serves their best interests, and in so doing will not always be popular, may not always impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the price”. Eugene B. Habecker, Author (Maxwell, 1999)
Be enthusiastic• Prov. 22:29 •Rom. 12:11 •2 Thess. 3:13 •2 Tim. 2:15
Servant Leaders of Jesus Christ have His “basin and towel” attitude.
• John 13:1-17• 1 Corinthians 9:26,27

If I can help somebody, as I pass along,If I can cheer somebody, with a word or song,If I can show somebody, how they're travelling wrong,Then my living shall not be in vain.
Chorus:My living shall not be in vain,Then my living shall not be in vainIf I can help somebody, as I pass along,Then my living shall not be in vain.
If I can do my duty, as a good man ought,If I can bring back beauty, to a world up wrought,If I can spread love's message, as the Master taught,Then my living shall not be in vain.
