Others-Centered Leadership…

July 26, 2019 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

The world is self-centered and people often look out only for themselves.

Rare is the individual whose legacy is built upon doing things for others. Kalu Kalu wrote, “The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.”

Spiritual leaders stand out for this quality. Why?

Jesus taught and set this example. The final lesson before His death was the lesson of servanthood.

The apostles taught it to the early church. Unity and harmony are built on service.

When we follow, we leave a legacy that leads to a home with God.

Leading In Culture…

Do leaders shape culture or does culture shape leaders?

We might think the answer is both, and that is true. Certainly the culture has an influence on leadership and leadership has an influence on culture.

However, spiritual leaders cannot allow the culture to dictate the direction of God’s people, but they must shape the culture into the image of Jesus.

How can leaders do so?

First, we must learn and understand the culture.
Second, recognize the need of culture.
Third, provide an example for the culture.
And fourth, guide them to a better culture.

Just a few steps can shape the changes needed to direct a greater focus toward Christ.

SALT Fun Fact #5

“The world’s largest salt flat (4,000 square miles) is in Bolivia (Salar de Uyuni). It becomes mirror-like when a thin layer of water lies on top. This reflectivity makes it a very useful tool in calibrating scientific equipment from outer space. Real leaders lead by example. That example should be a reflection of the best we can be and one that sets the standard by which others can measure themselves.” Wayne Roberts

Scripture continually emphasizes the need for leaders to set an example, following the example of Christ that others may understand the standard they must follow. They must see it first and then emulate it.
